With the help of foremost directors, actors, writers and activists, we count down the most essential Queer films of all time
Like queer culture itself, homosexual cinema is not a monolith. For a drawn-out time, though, that’s certainly how it felt. In the past, if lgbtq+ lives and issues were ever portrayed at all on screen, it was typically from the perspective of white, cisgendered men. But as more opportunities have opened up for queer performers and filmmakers to tell their control stories, the scope of the LGBTQ+ experiences that have made their way onto the screen has gradually widened to more frequently include the transitioned community and queer people of colour.
It’s still not perfect, of course. In Hollywood, as in population at large, there are many barriers left to breach and ceilings to shatter.

And while there is much to learn from and much to love about the many heavy gay dramas out there, we must also take time to celebrate and revel in the bright side of difference, which is why this list is all about the comedies. There is plenty of tenderness among these films to be sure, but there’s also Robin Williams doing a macho drag impersonation of John Wayne in The Birdcage and a pair of dirtbag girls just trying to scrape up enough cash for a beach trip in Never Goin&#; Back. From the lo-fi beginnings of John Waters to New Gender non-conforming Cinema to the display day wave of lgbtq+ coming-of-age movies popping up on Netflix, queer comedy has gone from the underground to the mainstream. The pioneering work of stars like Divine and filmmakers like Pedro Almodóvar paved the way for a family-friendly lesbian Cyrano de Bergerac in The Half of It and a three-way battle of tops in an Acade .Pride Month Viewing: 20 Buzzy LGBTQ Movies Of
