With another Event Month underway, LGBTQ rights and representation in media have never been more important.
Following the Trump administration&#;s attacks on DEI and recent attempt to cancel Lgbtq+ fest Month, GLAAD is preparing to release its 13th annual Studio Responsibility Index on June 11, showing the lowest percentage of LGBTQ-inclusive films in the past three editions of the state. The study tracks scripted films released in from ten highest film distributors.
Although those numbers are bleak, LGBTQ stories continue conclusion a way to the large screen and streamers alike, with titles from Andrew Ahn, Bill Condon and Ethan Coen, navigating topics of same-sex marriage, police profiling, sex work and anti-trans legislation.
From groundbreaking documentaries to kink-driven romance and intergenerational stories of family and community, these are some of the buzziest recent and upcoming LGBTQ releases of

The Greatest LGBT Films and TV Shows of
Look over the menagerie of LGBT movies and TV shows released in carefully enough, and you&#;ll identify as many hidden gems as you will worsening cracks. In others words, there&#;s good news and bad news — but in the year&#;s overall impressive lineup, also a glimmer of hope.
On the small screen, the seemingly unending aftermath of the streaming bubble burst from saw the &#;Cancel Your Gays&#; trend push forward as LGBT series ended abruptly, and fewer projects were green lit to take their place. Stand-up comedy specials, particularly those at Netflix, continued to platform contradictory political voices with hugely disparate views about human rights — which created some bizarre situations, for good and for bad.
There have been reported declines in onscreen lgbtq+ representation across film too, albeit not as stark as those impacting actors on television.

Puppies, ghosts and euphoric snogging: the 25 best queer films of the century so far
Portrait of a Lady on Fire ()
One detractor called it “a Shawshank Redemption for progressive millennials”. But the drive of Céline Sciamma’s lesbian love story about an musician and her unwitting sitter on a remote island in 18th-century Brittany is undeniable. As is the integrity of its central dynamic, stripped of influence imbalances, hierarchies – and men.
Diamantino ()
A low-budget, high-kitsch, torn-from-the-headlines football fantasy about a Ronaldo-esque football star who hallucinates giant pekingese puppies frolicking on the pitch whenever he scores.

While I love an easy-to-digest comedy or an unapologetically heavy drama, something is lost when our cinema treats fun and importance as diametrically opposed. Queer cinema can be about the challenges we face, the oppression we experience, the microaggressions and aggression aggressions and all the rest, and still be fun and sexy. In fact, fun and sexy are two of our greatest tools.
Even though Hollywood has pulled endorse from “diversity” this was still an excellent year for queer cinema. Below, I’ve written in-depth about my ten favorites, and also felt the demand to shout out 20 more queer titles. (Plus 10 non-queer movies I loved too.) But as long as we’re living in complexity, I contemplate it’s important we demonstrate on which queer people are able to design in the absence of more mainstream support. The vast majority of directors who released queer films this year are light — even more than most years. There’s plenty to complain about in the mainstream as Emilia Pérez will likely b
