#NEW GAY MOVIES TV SHOWS SERIES#
As a friend told me, this series was released way back in the “pre-streaming” era, and made for fascinating water cooler conversations when it was first incrementally released. There's f antasy, spirituality explored with no ties to any one faith, a critical eye on Reagan-era politics, and a depiction of the AIDS epidemic that will tear your heart out and gently hold it. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1991 play of the same name by Tony Kushner, it retains many of the more theatrical elements of the storytelling, and the drama (and melodrama) holds up today. This landmark 2003 HBO miniseries has everything we deserve. And a bunch more actors you've absolutely seen in something. The farmer from Babe (James Cromwell) as a world-weary doctor. Al Pacino as a deeply closeted and deliciously dislikeable corrupt lawyer Roy Cohn. Emma Thompson as a beautiful and terrifying angel and a nurse with a soft butch greaser aesthetic. Meryl Streep in multiple roles – as an uptight Mormon mother with unrealised sapphic yearnings, the scorned ghost of Ethel Rosenberg and an elderly male rabbi.

Recommended: The best new TV shows and movies to stream this month. We've rounded up some of the best classic queer television shows of the past to put on your watch list. But in a time not so long ago, before streaming and the saturation of social media, queer show recommendations were passed down in tattered DVD (or even VHS) box sets, dodgy hard drives, and knowing advice. While bingeing away on TV shows can be a source of entertainment and escapism, when they reflect back our own identities, or the identities of people we love, or even those we have never heard of – it can be an incredibly enlightening experience. Though the fanfare around absurd adult cartoon BoJack Horseman's asexual character Todd Chavez is a testament to the fact that we still have a way to go to make sure all letter of the alphabet receive the recognition they deserve.

We’re also seeing more diversity in LGBTQIA+ characters, including those involved in mainstream shows. Then there’s children’s show Steven Universe, a delightful animated adventure featuring a race of lesbian space rock aliens. There’s the ever-churning engine of RuPaul's Drag Race turning out new seasons and spin-offs at a dizzying rate, incredible series like Pose bringing authentic trans POC stories to the screen, and It's a Sin finding the joy and heartbreak in queer '80s London. Representation matters. In more recent times, we've witnessed an explosion of queer representation on our screens.
