    15 LGBTQ+ Movies You Should Stream on Netflix Right Now

    Because There's So Much to Choose From

    Netflix

    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.
