10 Films that got gay characters RIGHT!

Cinema has a long history of getting gay characters wrong… turning them into jokes, cautionary figures, or exaggerated sidekicks, but every so often, a film comes along that does something far more powerful.

It lets a gay character exist as a fleshed out character, it allows desire to build slowly. It treats longing as something personal rather than performative.

In this video, we’re counting down my picks for the 10 films that got gay characters right, without resorting to stereotypes.
