Lester is unhappy with his job, his marriage, and his life in general. And remember-even when Pride Month ends, there is still a wealth of LGBTQ cinema to explore. American Beauty tells the story of a man named Lester Burnham, a middle-aged advertising executive who is going through a mid-life crisis. In an effort to celebrate these films, the team at Men's Health has put together a list of iconic LGBTQ movies currently available for streaming on major platforms, including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. It’s one of the best action thriller movies out there, and it comprises The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), all of them gathering massive commercial success. That's just to say, there's something for everyone who wants to celebrate the power of the LGBTQ+ community. Moving on from comedies, we’ve got The Bourne Trilogy. The racial identities of queer characters have changed, too-look at Moonlight, which won multiple Academy awards and became the first film in history with an all-Black cast to win Best Picture. We've come a long way from many of the queer tropes that used to plague television and movies, and there's a substantial amount of content championing the beauty of queer relationships, and embracing one's gender identity.Īnd for the past half-century, LGBTQ+ media has made major strides, ranging from the 1985 love story, Desert Hearts, to the recent critical success of The Portrait of a Lady On Fire.

Anytime is the perfect to catch up iconic queer film and television, a glimpse into the stories of LGBTQ characters falling in love, coming to terms with their sexual identity or simple celebrating what it means to be queer in this day and age, be it fictional or based on real moments in history.


Although Pride Month is the designated time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, you can watch queer media any day of the year.
