5 MORE Queer Documentaries for Pride Month
Posted on 1 May, 2025Pride in 2026 hits a bit differently this year. The United States is a mess, with the safety of our trans siblings up in the air. It’s not any better for those in the UK either. And fascism is unfortunately becoming more and more popular. So many are feeling a sense of despair, wondering what can be done in such difficult times. It’s helpful to remember that we’ve been here before. Queer history is full…

9 Dead Gay Guys
Posted on 11 April, 2020Warning: This film is full of British slang, crude jokes, and crass language. If you find that offensive, this might not be a film for you. You WERE warned! “9 Dead Gay Guys” is probably the most offensive and stereotypical queer film I have seen – and it’s also one of the funniest! This black comical farce does not attempt to hide what it is, and even embraces all of its political incorrectness as it…

The Laramie Project
Posted on 13 October, 2020* This is a longer than normal film review. Laramie, Wyoming. Population 26687. A small town in an idyllic, rustic, and rural Wyoming. On October 7, 1998 – that all changed when 21 year old college student, Matthew Shepard, was found after he was beaten, robbed, and left to die while tied to a fence the night before. All because he was gay. When Moisés Kaufman, head of The Tectonic Theatre Project heard of the…

Queer Mystery Films
Posted on 1 May, 2021Murders, detective, and … Bears? Oh my! This month’s list of queer mystery films was rather fun to research sift though, partly because most folks don’t think about mysteries when thinking of LGBTQ and Queer films. While the tides are slowly turning, the Queer film oeuvre is better known for coming out stories, HIV/AIDS related storylines, and similar. There’s actually a decent amount of queer mystery films; these are simply some of my favourites. But…

Queer Thriller Films
Posted on 1 September, 2022Just in time for Halloween, this month’s theme is queer thrillers! Murders, political games, terrorism, and more all unfold within each of these five films. Each have certain elements that make them all great films to watch – however, while they all list themselves as a queer thriller… one does not match the others. Is it actually a thriller film? Hmm… To be fair, when I selected this month’s films I had only seen three…

Trans Films For Transgender Awareness Week
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…
