While there are increasing numbers of LGBT+ TV shows, lesbian films, gay comedies, and more – we can only hope to see the number of queer stories on-screen go up in the coming years – and with a greater diversity of genders, sexualities and races.
These stories, in addition to being thoughtful entertaining, and interesting, provide great representation for queer folk young and old and open up the door for even more diverse stories in entertainment in the future. Once only hinted at or suggested, queer narratives have been making waves in the film and television world as of late, and for good reason. Over the course of the last few decades, the amount of LGBTQ+ content in media has skyrocketed.
