    21 Extremely Gay Movies You Can Stream Right Now

    'Tis the season to stream movies until you feel the weary responsibilities of the world fade away and you finally feel whole again.

Look no further. With our careful curation from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO NOW we have found what are the gayest streamable movies right now, according to science. Some old, some new, some canon, some hidden gems. There's a movie here for every queer. Enjoy!

    God's Own Country

    God's Own Country still

    Francis Lee's feature film takes Brokeback Mountain and gives it a needed upgrade set in West Yorkshire. There, Johnny Saxby (played by The Crown's Josh O'Connor) is frankly wasting away on his family's farm. That is until Gheorghe Ionescu (played by Alec Secareanu), a Romanian migrant and hired hand, comes into the picture. Ionescu brings with him not only a deft hand at running the farm, but also an intimacy and romanticism that is spellbinding not only for Saxby, but the audience as well. It's truly a must-watch.

    Stream God's Own Country on Hulu.

    Bessie

    Bessie

    Queen Latifah plays legendary blues singer Bessie Smith in this Dee Rees-directed film about how she went from a struggling young singer to the Empress of Blues. Latifah delivers a great performance, and the film is full of amazing music. When it aired, it was the most watched HBO film of all time.
