Based on Casey McQuiston's New York Times bestseller of the same name, Red, White & Royal Blue follows a rivalry between the offspring of two of the most powerful people in the world.
And although he never quite loses his capacity for villainy, Thomas eventually gets a happy ending in the show’s sequel films, where he finds romance with an actor played by Dominic West, because “Downton Abbey” supports gay rights and gay wrongs. The film’s use of archival footage and interviews with real people adds an extra layer of authenticity to the story.
The film follows Lorenzo as he develops a close bond with an orphaned boy of his age called Caíto, who becomes his best friend and opens up new possibilities for love and self-discovery.
The film’s representation of a gay relationship is poignant and honest. —WC
“Tampa Baes”
Highbrow, it is not.
The film is a poignant exploration of love, loneliness, and the struggle to connect with others in an isolated world.
The film offers a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles faced by its characters. The main characters, Tom (played by Harry Styles) and Patrick (played by David Dawson), are in love, but must keep their relationship a secret due to the prevailing societal norms of the time.
The film is not only a love story but also a historical document of the struggles faced by Black lesbians in the entertainment industry.
The Watermelon Woman is the perfect film for anyone interested in independent cinema, LGBTQ+ history, and intersectional storytelling. The story follows the romantic lives of four men who are searching for love and connection.
Akhavan is also known for her work on the HBO series The Slope and High Maintenance.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is based on a novel of the same name by Emily M. Danforth. As can be expected from a Williams project, The Birdcage is, first and foremost, hilarious. —WC
“Harlem”
There are a ton of shows about women (often in a group of four) navigating careers, romance, and friendships: “Girlfriends,” “Sex and the City,” “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” “Run the World,” and so on.
The film follows the story of a young man named Frankie (played by Harris Dickinson) who spends his summer days hanging out with his delinquent friends and flirting with older men online. The film does not shy away from showing the emotional toll that being in the closet has on Shirley, and it handles the topic with sensitivity and nuance.
Green Book is a triumph of filmmaking, with strong performances from its lead actors, a compelling story, and a heartfelt message.
Crucially, the show doesn’t solely focus on the scandal bit, spending most of the first episode establishing their love affair with tenderness and joy. So when one comes along, we watch, however painful. And if nothing else, Uma Thurman plays a Southern-accented president who instructs her bisexual son to go on Truvada, which is probably the gayest thing in any Prime Video movie.
Soloway employed trans people above and below the line, giving big breaks to Trace Lysette and Alexandra Billings and directors Rhys Ernst and Zackary Drucker. Featuring a solid ensemble that includes Roberta Colindrez, Raúl Castillo, and Bad Bunny himself, “Cassandro” is smart about examining the homophobia inherent in the wrestling world, but director Roger Ross Williams is careful to let the film feel joyous as well.
