The racial identities of queer characters have changed, too-look at Moonlight, which won multiple Academy awards and became the first film in history with an all-Black cast to win Best Picture. We've come a long way from many of the queer tropes that used to plague television and movies, and there's a substantial amount of content championing the beauty of queer relationships, and embracing one's gender identity.Īnd for the past half-century, LGBTQ+ media has made major strides, ranging from the 1985 love story, Desert Hearts, to the recent critical success of The Portrait of a Lady On Fire. Anytime is the perfect to catch up iconic queer film and television, a glimpse into the stories of LGBTQ characters falling in love, coming to terms with their sexual identity or simple celebrating what it means to be queer in this day and age, be it fictional or based on real moments in history. Although Pride Month is the designated time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, you can watch queer media any day of the year.
