* gay film prime video *
Beyond the thorny topic of “Transparent, ” Prime do have a good track rerd of releasg shows wh LGBTQ characters and centerg their narrativ on queer them; particular, many of their shows foc on queer woman, rehgly avoidg the centerg of gay men that fed queer TV for s. In October last year, the pany’s Amazon Freevee ee streamg divisn dropped “High School”: a tenr and lovely g-of-age show spired by the liv of gay mic ins Tegan and Sara. Perhaps the ultimate fort watch, “Scht’s Creek” famoly was a world where homophobia didn’t exist, and the gay characters were ee to be as cuddly and as msy as their straight unterparts.
And even gog past Patrick and David’s romance though, many of the non-gay characters still have a strong queer appeal; “A Ltle B Alexis, ” anyone? One of the earlit h shows to center around gay characters, “Will & Grace” foced on the tense, more than a ltle -pennt iendship between gay lawyer Will (Eric McCormack) and straight terr rator Grace (Debra Msg). Although the show has been dged recent years for the perceived stereotypg of s gay characters — pecially Sean Hay’ bed-hoppg queen Jack — ’s origal eight-season n holds up as a fun, sharply wrten s, and one of the first of s kd to give gay characters the full spotlight they serve.
Based on the Black gay thor’s unfished mancript “Remember This Hoe, ” Raoul Peck’s geoly produced documentary brgs the work — focg on Civil Rights lears like Medgar Evers, Mallm X, and Mart Luther Kg Jr. Ford employed the same productn sign team that worked on “Mad Men, ” envisng a sexy midcentury LA teemg wh, y, hot gays, but also an irreprsible air of sadns that mt be what ennui looks like. A film so good that we n’t qu almost 20 years later, “Brokeback Mounta” was a watershed moment LGBTQ cema, markg the turng pot where gay love stori began to enter mastream cema.
