What are your favorite lgbtqia+ movies or shows or book?!

I enjoy reading the book EveryDay by David Leviathan. Each chapter has this soul waking up every day in a different body understanding this person lifestyle, personality, their perspective etc. There is a movie made about this book as well.

I love this book because it feels like your the person understanding your surroundings and themselves.

@Jowita Just got this new book called Kings of B'more. seems very interesting and would love to read it and when I'm done I will tell you guys bout it :D

Bound (97)...love the cameo by Susie Bright and actual community members!

@Jowita

TV:
Sense 8

Movie:
Birdcage - Who couldn't appreciate the dynamics between Robin Williams & Nathan Lane

@Jowita

for book, i'd definitely have to say Nimona by ND Stevenson. the first queer media i ever discovered and such an entertaining story! It's a web comic turned graphic novel

Book Series:

The Extraordinaries series by TJ Klune (and basically anything else by him)

The Last Binding series by Freya Marske

The Montague Siblings series by Mackenzi Lee (although only the first book is an LGBTQ+ book, and in my opinion, it's the best)

OH!!!! My favourite one Is definetly Heartstopper :D

I wanted to share my thoughts on the movie "Dear Evan Hansen". After your request about the best LGBTQIA+ film, I knew I had to write this.

While the film appears to be presented as a straight movie, I can understand how one might see it as doing a balancing act between straight and LGBTQ+ representation.

One way in which the movie could be seen as a gay movie is through the character of Connor, who is struggling with his own identity and sexuality. Although the film does not explicitly state that Connor is gay, there are several scenes that suggest this, such as when he kisses Evan on the cheek and asks him to "pretend to be his friend."

Additionally, the song "Disappear" and "Only Us" could be interpreted as a love letter between two gay characters who feel isolated and misunderstood by the world around them.

Furthermore, the central theme of the movie, which focuses on the difficulties of connecting with others and feeling like an outsider, is something that many LGBTQ+ individuals can relate to. The character of Evan, who is struggling with anxiety and depression, could be seen as a stand-in for many LGBTQ+ individuals who struggle with similar issues.

Overall, while "Dear Evan Hansen" may not be explicitly marketed as an LGBTQ+ movie, I can understand how one might see it as a movie that subtly explores themes of queerness and identity. I would be curious to hear more of your thoughts on the matter.
