5 Best LGBTQ Romantic Comedies To Stream During Pride Month

Over the past 10 years, LGBTQ+ movies have plunged into a new era of representation both off and on screen. We've seen strange arcs on TV and in movies for years, but most of these early projects are led by creatives outside the community, and the lack of LGBTQ+ involvement in these projects is evident, and the Schiff

we're starting to see as the queer community increases the opportunities to tell their stories.

This is especially the case for movies on streaming services, which have provided a platform that features more LGBTQ+ romantic comedies and other queer-centric movies and TV shows than we've ever seen before. Of course, that's not to say there are no brilliant examples of LGBTQ+ projects before early aughts and recent years (like "But I'm A Cheerleader"). But modern movies and shows continue to move the needle toward the progress that the queer community has sought for years. Between movies like "Red, White & Royal Blue" and "Love, Simon" here are some of the best LGBTQ+ rom-coms to stream during Pride month. 

By 2018, we weren't much in the way of the big blockbuster Gay adult rom-coms - "Love, Simon."The film has allowed the genre to take a big step forward and paved the way for future LGBTQ+ romantic comedy," he said. We're still mostly watching these kinds of movies on streaming and TV shows, but the stigma is gone and the queer community is finally getting more sure high school-based movies are coming out (and getting outed) as he navigates his budding online relationships with anonymous students in his high school, his identity.

Openly gay director Greg Berlanti directed the project, securing a clever execution of a story line sorely lacking in other problematic and bizarre blockbuster films like "Brokeback Mountain," which failed to express lgbtq+ voices.

Who does not love a good "enemy to lovers" and "Forbidden romance" mash—up-it features a strange couple So what exactly would the relationship between the eldest son of America and the Prince of England look like? Hear in "Red, white and Royal Blue" to Henry George Edward James Hanover・Stuart Fox and Alexander Gabriel Claremont・Diaz

The duo will be celebrating their anniversary during a royal wedding covered in aケ75,000 cake. Alex and Henry are aware that they have considerable common ground (including a mutual desire to get the cake back to its horizontal position, but not to it), although their feud is faked by their apparent obsession with the hostility that lands them on the floor of Buckingham Palace and they are besties during the damage control tour. It is not limited or may not be). 

Alex's Mom has taken part in a tough re-election campaign, and the film Prince Henry has to fight blatant homophobia and racism in the Crown is arguably the most well done, intimate, gripping, and beautifully filmed queer rom-com in cinematic history teeming with representation on all fronts. When you see Alex and Henry fight for each other, the marginalized community will want to fight for themselves and for the people they love. 

To start, it's always nice when writers let bisexual characters establish their identity and end up in weird relationships rather than just allowing them to date the opposite sex - a common cinematic trope. In addition, the politics of the film does not set the decor, but takes the central stage and provides a rich tapestry for the story to unfold. The quote "The forced conformity of the closet cannot be answered by the forced conformity that comes out of it" is one of the most powerful LGBTQ+ quotes in the film to date.1

The authenticity of the film is obvious, and the LGBTQ+ cliffhanger between the novel's OG writer Casey Mckiston and Ted Malawar and director Matthew Lopez, who co—wrote the screenplay. It makes sense, given that it is largely ruled by the Eighty.

Still salty fans that the six films in the "Bring It On" franchise have never featured a major lesbian couple are delighted to hear that the little-known 1999 film "But I'm A Cheerleader" fills that void. The short, sweet, satirical rom-com centers around a group of young LGBTQ+ children forced into a homophobic conversion therapy camp. The setup could easily have gone in a very problematic direction, but the film just works the way the film's serious subject and laughter ballin

Megan, who is the character of Natasha Lyon, has terrible expectations of parents and "camp" employees when navigating who she is, Claire Foy is the only character in the film. I have an unexpected encounter with Graham of Duval. Given that DuVall was only out to her friends and family at the time, the film adds a layer of authenticity. She told the Independent about her character, "She's so, so me." I put a lot of myself in her, to make her a lesbian character, not only this "idea" of what lesbians are like, but also the kind of girl we all know.I made her like, to make her a lesbian character.

The 2022 Hulu movie "Crush" ranks fairly high among the most iconic (and hilarious) LGBTQ+ teen rom-coms we've got in the past few years through the streaming service. Self-identified queer actor Rowan Blanchard directs the film as Paige, an engrossing nerd who has to decide whether her popular crush is actually the girl she wants, or whether she's sticking to fantasy and ignoring what's in front of her. Snappy comedy is exactly that - comedy. 

When it comes to queer-centric movies, they are often plagued by rough cumming-out stories, showing a hefty amount of homophobia. Of course, those stories are essential to tell, but they also feature fun, camped LGBTQ+ stories that are just as useful to drama as their status quo counterparts.Crash does that during the run of this healthy, camped rom-com with both artistic and sporty story lines. Even better. Most of the protagonists identify as LGBTQ+.

We love good lesbian holiday rom-com mostly helmed by LGBTQ+ cast. "Happiest Season" fills the void we've long felt with hundreds of straight holiday rom-coms we've gotten over the years. Mackenzie Davis' character Harper is quite a shock when her longtime girlfriend Abby (Kristen Stewart) heads to Harper's family home for Christmas. 

Unknown to Abby, Harper has lied to her family about her relationship with Abby and has not yet come out to her family. When a not very platonic girlfriend says she's in conflict with Harper's family, it's a lot to put someone down without raising their head. But while Abby and Harper figure out whether they can make their relationship work after all of the deception, up the family drama Ante

lesbian actress Claire Duval sat in the director's chair for "Happiest Season," which she co・wrote with Mary Holland . The film features a slate of talented actors like Victor Gerber (Ted), Aubrey Plaza (Riley Johnson), Alison Brie (Sloane), Mary Holland (Jane), Dan Levy (John) and Jake McDorman (Connor).
