Gay LGBTQ TV Shows And Movies You Like & Recommend

[fabulouslyghetto]

My favorite shows are more likely to have major gay characters.

My favorite show ever was Six Feet Under and I also liked Shameless - both with major gay characters. I also loved QAF - both the American and British versions.

There was also a petty much all gay character show on LOGO some years ago I liked. It was a mostly or maybe all Black Cast - great writing and acting - but I forgot the name of it.

I haven't seen any of the newer ones.

I was about to say "Noah's Arc" but then you said "great acting" so I KNOW you weren't talking about Noah's Arc.

LOL - yup - that's the show. I liked it - I thought it was refreshing.

I was a fan, but they read their lines like the script was changed 5 minutes before filming. Jensen Atwood was believable, Darryl Stephens ehhhh, not the worstacting, but their sidekicks and buddies... To this day it burns my panties that beer-guzzling, baseball-watching Eric Stonestreet played a more convincing fem than 3 actual fems. Before I learned about the cast of Modern Family I'd seen lots of comments that "one of the gay couple is gay in real life" and I assumed it was Cameron cuz that wrist was LIMP hunnty.

Damn I loved Six Feet Under. Shameless was good as well. Although Fiona got on my nerves after a while.

Chucky (TV show). At least in season 1. (I watch stuff only when it reaches DVD at the library, being too cheap to pay for TV.) Although I doubt anyone watches this show to see a developing romance...

Call Me By Your Name 2017 movie on Netflix was pretty good. About a young guy who falls for his Father's assistant in the Italian countryside.

Sorry if that was mentioned already.

Merlí is a Spanish television series produced by the Catalan channel TV3 about a philosophy teacher of the same name who encourages students to think freely using philosophy. In November 2016, the American company Netflix bought the rights for the distribution of the series.

Lilies. Its a good canadian gay movie from 1996.

Does anybody knows a link to watch the episodes of the Janet Jackson Tell All Documentary that came out earlier this year?
Like many people, i dont have Lifetime or Hulu. There must be a free streaming site who have the episodes somewhere.

Now that I've watched a full episode I can recommend HBO Max's Legendary, if you're into ballroom and vogue you'll get your life, lots of fun, really energetic and athletic performances. bitch i'm gaaaaaaaaaagging. no dramatics like more polished talent contests like idol or x-factor, just straightforward competition.

Just like women and black people, you gotta put in work on the chitlin circuit before you get gay people on both sides of the camera. women spent years as sexy voiceless pin-ups and black people were goofy incompetent lazy grifters and sidekicks for a long time before either were the lead or the smartest character in the story. i didn't watch Moonlight, it looked like ones of those artsy fartsy snoozefests i'd have to be high(er than usual) to enjoy, but i still haven't figured out if the oscar win was a win for the culture.

our generation won't see LGBT media that isn't driven by straight people til probably the tail-end of our lifetime. but look at the bright side. somewhere in Americana the next big gay writer is getting his buns clapped as we speak, getting pumped full of the inspiration and fuel he'll need to break the glass ceiling.

i'm curious if you see shows like Modern Family as a step forward since at least we're not being treated as invisible, on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being total campfest, if Will and Grace was a 5 Mitchell and Cameron were no more than a 3.5. For better or worse there's definitely a lot more inclusion than even 20 years ago. Then again I've argued in the opposite direction when black people tell me "At least tyler perry is giving black actors work." Yeah, in his minstrel act. So I get how more visibility doesn't necessarily indicate progress.

And this is the issue that I had with Will and Grace (and to a much lesser degree) with Mod Fam.

Trope heavy and stereotype heavy comedy shows have always made me squirm, no matter who the selected targets are, from stupid husband/father to sassy black people and then teh gayz. I get that the idea is to break down barriers and create familiarity and comfort, but along the way, we end up with the asexual Will pretending that he has the first clue about being a sexualized homo capable of an adult homo relationship while Jack is given a cartoonish sex life and relationship.

Modern Family did move the needle forward a lot more by having the gay guys in a stable relationship with a daughter and while there were more than a few cringey camp moments that reduced the depth of the gay characters' personalities and scope, there were just as many subtle and surprising aspects that were allowed to come through as well. Cam's farmboy backstory, his love of clowns and his penchant for being a great coach gave him far more dimension as a person and not just being seen as the fussy house husband foil to Mitch's buttoned up/buttoned down angst. This is about the only comedic homo pairing where there was actual love between the characters and the story arc didn't depend on love thwarted or the overwrought sexual and emotional drama.

I was able to watch the first 2 episodes and they played well. But episodes 3 and 4 are missing. Do you know where to watch the last 2 episodes ?

The original showtime QAF! The new one on Peacock seems so forced!

The original was so amazing. I have seen the entire season of QAF so many times. It sucks to hear that the new one feels like that. I never felt like the original was forced.

 

[ShadowCat]

Its like that with reboots The Connors and ESPECIALLY! Will and Grace! EXTREMELY FORCED!

 

[Kahaih]

Did anyone mention Saint-Narcisse?

Fun for the whole family.

Earlier this year someone started a thread on adoption, I posted a picture of the gay couple from Modern Family with their child and it was removed (and Hot Topics is SFW). I didn't think it'd be a problem after seeing that that other mod often posts pictures of underage celebrities in threads were they are sexualized. Make it make sense.

Sorry about that. Posting stuff from Heartstopper is no issue. It is public and it is legal.

This response is adding confusion to the forum. Were the Heartstopper posts allowed because no underage persons were actually visible, or not?

The stated code of conduct is NO underage people may be depicted. When the response mentioned the "stuff" from Heartstopper being public and legal, it doesn't address the age question, or not explicitly, as it is not illegal to depict underage persons on the internet when not sexualized.

Please clarify so we all understand JUB's standards.

One of the great failings of JUB's moderation is the imperious nature of moderation. If moderating actions merely included either a public or private CLEAR and EXPLICIT explanation, members would at least not be left in confusion. Having received such actions myself, I'm keenly aware of the problem with the apparent arbitrary appearance of unexplained actions, or ones which have generic warnings without citing how the code was specifically violated.

I know it’s a bit confusing. I think things are too strict especially when we can’t even talk about things that are on television. I talked to my attorney about this and he agrees. In the process of loosening things up and it’s gonna take some time because we have to rewrite the rules and other various things like that.

What brought me to the thread was seeing a promo for Spoiler Alert just now. There was a trial release on December 2nd in some theaters, but the broad release is December 9.

Jim Parsons apparently bought the rights of a true story and from all accounts is spectacular in the role of the surviving half of a couple parted by terminal cancer.

I'm excited about seeing a new movie for the only time this year. This totally makes up for another Avatar being released.

Spoiler Alert: The Heartbreaking True Story Behind Jim Parson's New Romantic Movie

In his memoir 'Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies,' writer Michael Ausiello wrote about his relationship with husband Kit Cowan, who died of cancer in 2015
