Happy Pride Month! It's the gayest time of the year and even though some cinematic icons have toiled away in the closet for decades (I'm looking at you, Rock Hudson) it has become much safer to be "out" & be yourself. More films than ever are being made to celebrate being LGBTQ+.
There are many "queer coded" movies, such as The Babadook (2014) & The Old Dark House (1931), but this pride list is made up of outright no-subtext needed Pride films that celebrate being queer. It will not include movies, like Psycho (1960) which bring harm to the queer identity.
At least one of these Prideful pictures has won Best Picture! Lets hope more queer-friendly films win more prestigious awards in the near future.
