Pride Month is marked every June, when the lives of the LGBTQ+ people are celebrated, and those within the community show on how far they possess come–and how much still needs to change.
Hollywood has been notoriously slow in telling the stories of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender characters, never mind those of others who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ collective. Netflix's catalog reflects this, with the streamer's movie collection featuring a lack of films featuring, for example, trans people. One of the few movies about a transgender character on the streamer, for example, is the oft-criticized The Danish Girl, the film from Cats director Tom Hooper, led by cisgender thespian Eddie Redmayne.
Despite the Netflix catalog having some notable omissions when it comes to depicting the whole spectrum of queer being, it does contain some superior films that have turned Homosexual stories into sublime comedy, activism-stoking tragedy and awareness-raising documentaries. Here are some of the top Netflix subscribers can enjoy this Pride Month.

I'm tired of seeing the same 10 films on every website's LGBTQ+ production roundup (hey, I still love Call Me by Your Name and Moonlight just as much as the next person, so don't come for me!), so, as a gender non-conforming person myself, I wanted to shine a beam on some underrated movies that simply don't obtain the attention or credit they deserve. Below are 40 that I genuinely think you'll love, and if you want even more suggestions, you can check out my running list on Letterboxd with nearly films. Enjoy!
1.Young Hearts () is a current coming-of-age story about two year-old boys who plummet in love for the first time. This Belgian movie is awkward and sweet and painfully concrete. I can't rave enough about it, and the only downside is that it wasn't released 20 years ago when I was their age and needed it most.
