The Best LGBTQ+ Movies That Defined Queer Cinema According to Bored Panda

"While Hollywood has a long way to go in terms of representation — and not just for the LGBTQ+ community — the past few years have seen an uptick in queer-centric movies. One of the most significant changes is that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, & non-binary people are no longer relegated to side characters, background roles, or included just as subjects for jokes and mockery; they're leading the charge as sympathizable protagonists and heroes. This isn't just a trend: it's a lasting movement! The industry has made it clear that it's getting committed to telling authentic stories, making them relatable & real for all kinds of audiences. And with that, we're seeing some of the most complex and compelling LGBTQ+ characters in film history. One of the challenges in LGBTQ+ cinema today is ensuring that queer actors get to play queer roles. While waiting for the change to happen, we can still enjoy these films for what they are: a huge step forward in queer history." - boredpanda.com
