THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985
The trailer for Bratton's film brgs a lot of the Mare Corps' re valu, so looks like we n expect a movie that portrays lead character Ellis French's ary experience a posive light spe of the herent problems a gay Mare would have faced that era. The melancholic bgraphil drama, directed by acclaimed Brish filmmaker Terence Davi, don’t shy away om Sassoon’s queerns as hon on the bat veteran’s gay love affairs wh Ivor Novello (Jeremy Irve), Stephen Tennant (Calam Lynch) and Glen Byam Shaw (Tom Blyth), as well as his nversn to Catholicism.

The first gay romantic edy om a major stud, Bros marked a historic moment for queer cema wh s prcipal LGBTQ+ st – even the heterosexual rol were played by actors of the LGBTQ+ experience.
Followg Billy Eichner’s character Bobby Lieber as a podster and rad show host as he falls for a ‘masc4masc’ gay (played by Le Macfarlane), Bros is one of the most outrageoly funny edi of the year and is, thankfully, not straightwashed to appeal to cis-het dienc. From Bobby snappg a pic of his butt for a Grdr hook-up (who subsequently blocks him) to the two lead characters brgg the foot fetish dtry to the big screen, Bros is g-g-g-gay. Watchg Léo (En Dambre) distance himself om Rémi (Gtav Waele) as a rult of the homophobia of others is an excciatg watch, and the Belgian drama’s swch om buddy film to one about teen suici is equally as vastatg.
‘INSPECTN’ DIRECTOR LLS NEW MARE FILM THE ‘BLACK, GAY ROCKY’
An homage to teen classics like Cel Intentns, Jawbreaker and Mean Girls, Netflix’s black edy Do Revenge immediately ptured the attentn of viewers – particularly Gay Twter – thanks to the bonkers twists, 90s-spired athetic and sapphic chemistry between leads Caa Mens and Maya Hawke.
Hailed by crics and viewers as an stant queer classic, Fire Island follows two bt iends (Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang) as they embark on their annual weeklong vatn to the tular gay hotspot.
THE FILM PUT DON’T WANT THE WORLD TO SEE: FIREBIRD, A GAY LOVE STORY ABOUT FIGHTER PILOTS
We received the gay gby drama we need and serve thanks to a Kickstarter mpaign and the visn of director/wrer and former gby ach Matt Carter. In From The Si stars Emmerdale’s Alexanr Lln as Mark, an experienced new rec on the B team at a gay gby club who has a dnken enunter wh Warren (Alexanr Kg), the star player on the A team. Forbidn romance asi, In From The Si simply picts the liv of people who play gby together and jt-so happen to be gay.
No homophobia. In one of the year’s most pellg and raw performanc, Jeremy Pope stars The Inspectn as a Black gay man who be homels after his homophobic mother (played to perfectn by Gabrielle Unn) disowns him. While the narrative feels faiar – a troubled person enters the ary, is celly targeted by a senr soldier, nsirs leavg but persever and feels more plete as a rult – The Inspectn’s emphasis on the Black LGBTQ+ experience and years of stutnalised homophobia the ary distcts self om others the same genre.
