What are your favorite lgbtqia+ movies or shows or book?!
My favorite lgbtqia+ movie is “Crazy”, it’s French Canadian movie about a gay guy in the 70’s. I like it because it makes me realize how lucky I am to have an open minded and accepting family. (It’s also a really great movie and I like many actors in it) Where I’m from it’s a very well know and popular movie.

TV SHOWS
- Pose is the most significant representation of the LGBT community I've ever seen. It fllows the lives on marginalized people in New York's lgbt community in the late 80ies. It's on Netflix.
- Sense8 is a sci-fi show that follows the lives of 8 individuals across the globe who have a psychic connection, two of them are LGBT and their stories are really meaningful and well portrayed. Overall it's a show about love and empathy. This one's also on Netflix.
BOOKS
- The house on the Cerulean sea by TJ Klune, a very emotional "found family" story with two gay characters that eventually become a couple. It's a fantasy books. Similar vibes can be found in Under the whispering door by the same author.
- This is how you lose the time war by Amal El-Mothar and Max Gladstone is a sci-fi novella with a unique writing style. It tells the story of two women that fight for opposite sides of the "Time war" and slowly fall in love.
- If you like novels about Greek mythology, The song of Achilles by Madeline Miller tells the story of Achilles and Patroclus, the oldest M/M relationship ever portrayed in Western literature.
- If you like "classical" fantasy books, The Nightrunner series is a fantasy saga written by Lynn Flewelling in the 90ies, with great worldbuilding, a compelling story and two awesome bisexual men who eventually become a couple as main characters.
@Aaylapleased to say i have read 3 out if those 4 books with songs of Achilles as my fav! the ithers sound great will give them a try!
@Aayla
I love love love under the whispering door
The slow burn and the way they fell in love without being able to touch each other
@Jowita
This is more of a kids show but its made a huge impact on my life because there are so mang lgbtq+ charecters and the 2 main charecters are a lesbian couple
@EzraYourLocalTrans
oooh! what's the name of the show if i may know?
@Jowita
Sorry I thought I said that :p
i get distracted alot
its called The Owl House
Show on netflix called dead end, and the main characters are barney, a trans gay or bi? dude and a lesbian or maybe bi? autistic gal named norma and it's a fun show but also talks openly about the challenges these characters have and my siblings started watching it, not me, which was crazy, and my unaccepting dad kinda just went along with it.. it's really good would reccomend
@LonleyCheese
YES I LOVE THAT SHOW
@EzraYourLocalTrans
I know right!! It's so cool when a show isn't trying to hide the real life problems that actual people have too. Funny thing, I was jjust watching it at the beginning and I was like, getting vibes but thught nothing of it because every character in every show.. "hmm trans? nah couldn't be" And then... It happened! So cool.
@LonleyCheese
Sorry ik it took me so long to see this but YA!!! I relate to both Norma and Barney bc Barney is FTM Trans and so am I and Norma is autistic...SO AM I!!! I love relatable shows :)
I definently agree, and I also love how it's not their entire personality like some shows might make it out to be, and it's pretty well displayed as a legitimate thing that some people deal with. I am also both of those things (probably, not sure about the autism but several friends have told me it's likley and half or more of my siblings are so...?) and I really liked it! plus fantasy shows are just neato
@LonleyCheese
Totally agree! And with the autism thing, (assuming your older than 3 years old) your probably have something similar but not exactly that because yes autism can be diagnosed at any point in life but doctors tend to catch it at no higher than age three and will put you on the spectrum no older than age three. So if you are not on the spectrum you probably do not have it. I hope you find out whats going on! Remeber whatever it is you are valid no matter what <3
@Jowita
Loveless by Alice Oseman --- really opens people's eyes to the often-neglected ace community
Heartstopper by Alice Oseman --- one of the cutest, purest romances I've ever read and it's literally so gay haha
I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston --- so fun to read and the characters were really dramatic and awesome
Oh my gosh I love heartstopper! The first two books are at my school's library, and they are so amazing!
I'm so excited about seeing the new movie Spoiler Alert that came out recently I really like Jim Parsons he's so good in Big Bang Theory.
If its anything like Fault in our Stars I'll be bawling my eyes out so heavily. Love movies and shows like that. ❤❤❤❤
