Must Watch: LGBTQ+ Film/TV List

Queer people have been fighting for representation since possibly the dawn of the media. When we got that representation, most people (myself included), were not quite satisfied. Yes, we can now see men loving men, women loving women and a lot more in between but there was one common factor; they were all white. Queer people of colour eventually took it into their own hands to create the representation we sourly lacked. They gave us the QTBIPOC representation we never knew we needed. We saw it in the L Word, Grey’s Anatomy, Orange Is The New Black, then Sense 8, Cemetery boys, The Bold Type, The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo, Black lightning, She Who Became The Sun, Elisa And Marcela, Euphoria, and a whole lot more. Today QTBIPOC and LGBTQ+ people still largely fight for representation but we’ve come a long way since the production code was created in 1930 and re-enforced in 1934 in an attempt to reduce the negative portrayals of homosexuality in media.

The Q26 has put together an extensive list of films and TV series written by and/or featuring QTBIPOC and LGBTQ+ characters or themes. These films and TV series will sink into your skin and make a home there. It’ll pull at your heartstrings and make you FEEL in a way that lingers.
