20 days into pride month here are some gay movies that if you haven't already seen I highly recommend you do
"Some Like It Hot" (1959) how they got away with making gay shit in the 50s. Two guys have to cross dress to escape death by mafia. Marilyn Monroe is also there being hot. They ride off gayly into the sunset. Easily piratable.
"Paris is Burning" (1990) documentary made in the late 80s about the gay scene in New York. Interviews with monumental drag queens. On YouTube
"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" (1994) two award winning drag queens take a younger queen on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles. They get stuck in a small town in middle America when their car breaks down. My personal favorite comfort movie. Easily piratable.
"The Watermelon Woman" (1996) a black butch lesbian film maker is researching the life of a black actress from the 30s only credited as the watermelon woman. Available on the internet archive, but you'll have to pause the video and let it load forever. Worth it.
"But I'm a Cheerleader" (1999) I know it had a moment on tiktok a while ago but if you haven't seen it you should. Last scene made me cry the first time I watched it, it was so cute. Easily piratable.
"The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo" five part youtube series with not near enough views. Messy gay representation. The directer/writer has made some other weird youtube movies equally as unhinged
the gay and wondrous life of caleb gallo is just one guy who wrote, directed, produced and acted the whole thing with his friends and a really low budget and its better than most big american sitcoms. because of wokeness.
The thing that gets me about The Gay and Wonderous Life of Caleb Gallo is that they have the advisors and their semi-non-sexual three way relationship and you're like "okay this is the poly rep everything else is just there for ✨The Drama ✨"
But no. They're ALL poly. We know Caleb's a poly mess. Karen is clearly poly by the end. Freckle has never had a monogamous relationship ever even once not even in middle school.
The Advisors are just the only ones with their shit sorted out.
