Since I started writing at Autostraddle, my best movies of the year list aimed to refer every queer or lesbian movie — good or bad — to show just how many of our films are made each year. Well, it finally happened. There are finally too many.
I’ve tried to see as much as possible but I simply can’t see them all. What an exciting development! This year is also exciting because my queer list is almost identical to my general list. With the exceptions of Nanny and The Pink Cloud, the movies that moved me most this year were queer. And the movies that moved our culture were too.
Yes, this list has some underrated indies. But it also has several Oscar frontrunners — or at least Independent Spirit Award frontrunners. As queer people, we can’t peek to the mainstream for validation. But it sure is adj when we get it anyway!
It’s also exciting to me that many of these films verb beyond our conventional understanding of a queer movie. For many of these films, queerness is included and centered, but the conventions are not. There’s a difference between queerness not being the point an
20 Upcoming LGBTQ+ Movies We're Looking Forward To
The LGBTQ+ community’s ties to Hollywood and cinema possess been deeply intertwined from the early days of the medium. And yet, the fight for authentic representation of queer people in film continues to be a rarity (especially when it comes to high-profile movies). With the 2025 movie schedule here (and Pride Month coming up very soon!) there’s quite a few LGBTQ+ titles to stare forward to, and we’ve rounded up what to look forward to below.

Honey Don’t! - August 22, 2025
In 2024, Ethan Coen and wife Tricia Cooke made Drive-Away Dolls, which they called the first of their planned “Lesbian B-Movie Trilogy”, which continues with this summer’s Honey Don’t. The gloomy comedy once again stars Margaret Qualley as a lesbian confidential eye named Honey Donahue who gets embroiled in a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church in the movie also starring Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, Billy Eichner and Chris Evans. I can’t stay for this one.
Twinless - September
- Of the 77 films released theatrically by the seven major studios in 2021, 16 (20.8 percent) contained LGBTQ characters. That is a decrease of 1.9 percent from 2020, but an raise of six films from last year’s 10 out of 44 (22.7 percent). It is worth noting that the films released theatrically in a much smaller sample due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Of the 16 LGBTQ-inclusive films released in 2021, 11 (69 percent) included gay male characters, four (25 percent) included lesbian characters, two (13 percent) included a bisexual character, and one (seven percent) included a transgender character. This is a marked decrease in lesbian representation, as lesbians appeared in 50 percent of inclusive films in 2020. Only two films contained a bisexual character—a population that continues to be underrepresented.
- For the first time in five years, GLAAD has counted a transgender character in this report (Anybodys, West Side Story). The character is a trans man who plays a small role in the film. There were no trans women or non-binary characters counted in this report.
