LGBTQ+ people aren't a monolith! Beyond the identities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, members of these communities come from many different backgrounds and cultures. The movies and TV shows on this list elevate and celebrate the stories of LGBTQ+ people who are also people of color, people with disabilities, people who are immigrants or refugees, and people of different socioeconomic statuses. Relatable coming-of-age stories, heartfelt romantic dramas, earnest documentaries, and more: There's something here for everyone. And don't miss our other recommendations for stories of LGBTQ+ youth in books and movies and TV shows, as well as movies and TV shows that explore queer history.
