15 LGBTQ+ Movies You Should Stream on Netflix Right Now
Because There's So Much to Choose From
There's a lot of content on Netflix -- a whole lot. Especially when it comes to queer characters. With so much, it's easy to miss or forget what's there, particularly in the case of older non-original content that may not be getting the press roll out other stuff is. So here we've compiled a list of some of our favorite films, available now on the streamer, that boast major LGBTQ+ characters or storylines. But, you probably should start watching them now before they all get pulled down.
Loving Annabelle (2006)
This romantic drama stars one unruly student who falls in love with her teacher.
God's Own Country (2017)
A Yorkshire sheep farmer taking care of his parents meets a new Romani migrant worker with whom he develops a push and pull relationship.

This documentary shows the culture of drag pageants before Stonewall, Pride festivals and much of any queer representation.
Below Her Mouth (2016)
This passionate film sees two women and their deep desire for one another over three days.
Moonlight (2016)
This Oscar award-winning coming-of-age story depicts the life of a young Black man as he deals with both identity and community.

The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson (2017)
This documentary tells the life of one of the mothers of the gay rights movement, Marsha P. Johnson, in a powerful biopic.

Player's Club (1998)
This dark comedy stars Lisa Raye as a stripper, dancing at the popular Player's Club to make money through college. Though she isn't revealed to be queer in the film, Ronnie, a fellow stripper and onen of the project's many villians, certainly is as revealed by the subtext.

Paris Is Burning (1991)
