Still with us as we present the LGBT Movies Fall 2023 Schedule?

Haven’t left our page yet? It’s likely you know exactly what we are talking about with not finding good LGBTQIA+ content. We feel your pain when it comes to looking for LGBT movies that aren’t cringeworthy and showing our community in the wrong light. 

What do we mean by this? Movies and shows that fail to show our struggles and how we overcome them.

Think… Modern family, where the white, middle class gay couple’s biggest issue is dealing with their daughter’s realization that she has two dads and in one episode screaming “I’m gay! I’m gay! I’m not Korean, I’m gay” at the top of her lungs in a Korean restaurant. (If you’re unfamiliar with modern family, the couple adopted their daughter from Korea.)

Such a situation is not super relatable for most people in our community who are often oppressed, disowned, and put at a disadvantage before they start their lives. 

This, along with doom scrolling, is the primary reason we decided to create the Queer films schedule for 2023. 

If you’re still here drop us a comment and let us know what you think about our Fall 2023 Gay movies schedule…

Now back to the LGBT Movies Fall 2023 Schedule from The HomoCulture.
