Hulu's nsirable TV library clus several historilly important exampl of early gay and lbian reprentatn as well as more morn seri wh a more veloped unrstandg of queer inti. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli.

One of several seri on Hulu created by gay super-producer Ryan Murphy, Pose is about the New York Cy's drag ball culture the 1980s and 1990s wh a foc on the Ain-Amerin and Lato muni. Sks received broadly posive reviews and s pictn of both lbian and gay relatnships have been praised by fans and wrers such as Doctor Who shownner Rsell T.

BL/GAY SERI AND MOVI

The send season of Ryan Murphy's Amerin Crime Story anthology seri reunts the te story of the murr of openly gay fashn maven Gianni Versace by the spree killer Andrew Cunanan. The story then travels back time to al wh Cunanan's prev victims who were mostly gay men, as was Cunanan himself. It isn't exactly a feel-good watch, but The Assassatn of Gianni Versace is a dramatilly pellg l0ok to gay life durg the age of Don't Ask Don't Tell.

Killg Eve received cril praise s first three seasons; however, the fal season received mixed rpons as ran afoul of the "buryg your gays" trope. Will & Grace is an NBC s that centered on the iendship between a gay lawyer, Will, and a heterosexual terr signer, Grace.

While the character of Will was sometim cricized as stereotypil, the seri was one of the first popular TV shows wh a proment gay character and helped faiarize many people wh LGBTQ+ issu. There are plenty of gay and queer romantic edi and LGBTQ+ movi that are romantic, light-hearted, pellg, and edic, like Love, Simon, Bros, and Happit SeasonLove, Simon gaed a lot of attentn and buzz durg s 2018 release, maly bee was one of the first mastream gay romantic edi. For this list, I wanted to highlight some LGBTQ+ movi and gay romantic edi that are worth watchg.

IS THE PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN GAY LOVER LAWSU ETHIL?

For this list, I tried to clu as many movi that reprent different parts of the LGBTQ+ muny (gay, bisexual, qutng, transgenr, lbian, pansexual, etc.

However, the world of gay and queer romantic edi and LGBTQ+ movi is nstantly growg, so hopefully a few years, this list will be even bigger. And yet, for s, lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer people rarely ever saw displays of affectn.

It may appear quat now, when we have TV seri like Hulu’s Love, Victor (about a Latx teen explorg sexual fluidy) or Netflix’s Bondg (about sex work and alternative sexualy), but the great gay panic set off by Ellen DeGener g out on her s 1997 was a bombshell that didn’t necsarily nvce the works that they’d open the gat to LGBTQ experienc. Luckily Will & Grace buted 1998 and the groundbreakg NBC seri nvced many that gay people might not be so toxic (and wouldn’t sre off advertisers) — so much so that Vice Print Joe Bin later creded wh changg his md about same-sex marriage.
