In fact, if we focus on queer films you can stream or watch online, there are THOUSANDS – with over two thousand to be found just on Prime Video! So with such a plethora…

DannyBOY
Posted on 10 January, 2021Right before the Christmas film rush began, I was asked by Rosh to review her debut short film “DannyBOY”. Now that the holiday craziness is over, I was able to catch up and dive right into some awesome Queer Shorts. And boy does “DannyBOY” deliver! Just from the trailer alone, it’s clear that we’re in for a thriller-esque ride. While the ending is quite captivating, unfortunately there are other bits and pieces that pulled my…

Posted on 27 February, 2021After a homophobic attack, closeted Country Star Adam Charles is forced to decide to “play it straight” like his label demands or to finally come out and live an open life with his longterm partner, Brian.

Queer Action Films
Posted on 1 July, 2021When you think of what defines an Action film, certain images or scenes come to mind. Car chases, gun fights, battle scenes, and more.

Queer Crime Films

Posted on 1 November, 2021Historically in mainstream media, trans folks are added purely for comedy. However, it’s usually at the expense of being trans so it’s not actually funny and rather demeaning. Or, like others in the queer community, trans persons are used as the “victims” – especially in crime dramas where the cliche storyline is the trans person was killed after their john realised “she” is actually a “he”. Perhaps worse, they films aren’t actually trans films, just…
