Timeout's Best LGBTQ+ Movies of All Time - Page 2

"Queer culture is not a monolith, and neither is queer cinema. That wasn't always the case, however. In the past, if gay lives and issues were ever portrayed at all on screen, it was typically from the perspective of white, cisgendered men. In just the last few decades, though, a gradual evolution has taken place, widening the scope of LGBTQ+ experiences on film to include those involving the trans community and people of colour. Additionally, more and more opportunities are opening up for queer performers and filmmakers to tell their own stories. Obviously, there are still many barriers left to breach, both in Hollywood and society at large. But the strides of the last half-century or so deserve to be celebrated. To that end, we enlisted some LGBTQ+ cultural pioneers, as well as Time Out writers to assist in assembling a list of the greatest gay films ever made." - timeout.com
