Best Movies About Black LGBTQ+ Characters, Ranked

Best Movies About Black LGBTQ+ Characters, Ranked | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

With great bounds being made for the LGBTQ+ community, including the legalization of gay marriage in the United States, more representation in film is necessary. Over the past couple of decades, the LGBTQ+ community has seen a surge in representation on the silver screen. While this is a wonderful thing, there are special circumstances that come into place as not every member of the LGBTQ+ community will have the same experiences, and sexuality intersects with almost every other aspect of identity—most especially, race.

Damaunte Walters's curator insight, March 21, 2022 12:24 AM

For starters i am supporter of the LGBTQ community. I believe everyone should be able to freely love who they are and who they want without judgement. With that being said I see that most of Americas big media outlets have accepted this fact and have made brilliant efforts to integrate this community into basically what we see everyday; TV shows, movies, books, commercials, ect. 

 

Albeit growing up in the late 90's and 2000's the cartoons weren't the most PG rated but I've never seen so many shows, movies that seemingly always has one or multiple members of the LGBTQ community. More specifically when they're introduced in shows or movies aimed at child audiences. I understand that children will reach a point in their life where they are curious I just don't think that it should be something that we are "forced" to normalize. On the other hand being an open minded adult, it is normal to me, I love the fact that America is being inclusive and accepting, and are considerate of others thoughts and feelings. We all need each other.

 

USA Today was founded in 1982 in Virginia providing newspapers and news broad castings in 39 cities in the USA. also having five more corporations internationally.

I love the inclusivity in the music industry. With an art where you have to make something your own it is always nice to see a whole group of talented people be welcomed with open arms into ever- developing industry that is music. Billboard is a very well and respected source of news and info.
