The Best LGBTQ TV Shows and Movies on Amazon Prime
If one were to rank all the majorstreamingservices by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a pretty tough one to pin down.
On the one hand, you have to give credit where credit is due: One of the service’s very first stabs at original programming was “Transparent,” which in turn was one of the first shows to star a trans main character. That show now has a lot of baggage (the fact that the trans woman at its center was played by a cis gentleman, and the fact that that man — Jeffrey Tambor — was fired after sexual harassment allegations is, put mildly, the worst), but it’s challenging to understate its historical significance.
Beyond the thorny topic of “Transparent,” Prime Video does have a great track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes; in particular, many of their shows focus on lgbtq+ women, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades. In 2023, the streamer dropped a phenomenal limited series retelling of David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers,” starring Rachel Weisz as twin lesbian gynecolo
‘Sausage Party’: Orgy Of Upset From French Catholic, Anti-Gay Groups Over PG Rating
Sony’s hit animated comedy Sausage Party has completed much of its offshore scamper , grossing about $140M worldwide to date, and was just released in France on Wednesday. But some folks here are not getting the joke. Rated R in North America, the film was granted a -12 certificate by France’s classification commission, and that has Catholic groups and La Manif Pour out Tous, an anti-same-sex marriage association, losing their lunches.
On Wednesday, La Manif Flow Tous — which gained notoriety in 2013 as it vocally opposed the law to legalize queer marriage — launched a Twitter campaign against the pic written by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. Among its missives, one was directed at France’s national film body the CNC: “Hello CNC, define how you can allow the screening of a giant orgy for the whole family?” it asked (not shying from posting photos from said scene, see below).
Jean-Frédéric Poisson, President of the Christian Democratic party added: “An orgy scene for 12-year-olds! Everything remains to be done to combat e
More sex please, we’re bookish: the rise of the x-rated novel
Whenthe judges awarded Yael van der Wouden’s brilliant debut, The Safekeep, the Women’s prize for fiction last month, they weren’t just garlanding a book that happens to have a few sexy scenes in it. They were responding to a work that engages with the current levels of literary excitement around sex and marries this with sweeping historical vistas and a distinctive sensibility. It was joined on the shortlist by Miranda July’s exuberant odyssey of midlife desire, All Fours, and Fundamentally by Nussaibah Younis, a smart, quickfire account of a young academic’s work for a UN deradicalisation programme, which juxtaposes the world of Middle Eastern religious politics with a closeup relish for female sexuality.
While younger generations, at least, have said in recent years that they want to look more platonic friendship and less sex on screen, reading appetites appear to be going in the other direction, with a huge boom in intimacy and “romantasy” – the romance-fantasy hybrid driven by TikTok and the accomplishment of authors such as Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J Maas. We all have strong, mixed feelings about sex, and the cultural
Coming Oot: The fabulous history of homosexual Scotland
That decade saw an explosion of gay culture into the mainstream. In Scotland, the newly legalised gay men had a fantastic time. In Glasgow, the gay mecca was Bennets.
Social commentator Damian Barr tells a BBC Scotland documentary: "I could not have imagined a place appreciate this existed. I'd not even seen a gay club on film or on television. It felt like Xanadu.
"To walk into a room and notice all these men dancing together and kissing, I actually thought something poor was going to happen. I mind these people can't be allowed to have this much fun."
But along with fun came a new threat in the form of HIV/Aids.
If Scotland was ignorant about Aids it was rudely awoken in 1985, when 60% of injecting drug addicts tested at an Edinburgh hospital were found to be HIV positive.
As a result, the Scottish capital was labelled the HIV capital of Europe.
David Taylor, who was at Lothian health board in the 80s, says: "It certainly stuck as a label but it was blatantly untrue."
Despite the examine relating to drug addicts and the figures being debatable, homosexual sex was once again portrayed as somethi

Scrolling through social media, I came across an Instagram post of a woman that went viral for her Facebook rant about the reboot of the cartoon, The Proud Family:Louder and Prouder, for having “too much lgbtq+ in it”.
Sis — and I exploit that term loosely — was talking about new homosexual cartoon characters, Barry and Randall Leibowitz-Jenkins, who are a gay, interracial couple and the parents of adopted children. And then there’s Penny Proud’s childhood friend Michael Collins who now identifies as gay and gender non-conforming.
I create the woman, JuJu Israel, on Facebook and immediately noticed that she’s a hardcore holy roller. From experience, they’re usually the first in line to come for the gays. It always amazes me how these super religious people are so concerned about the life others are living instead of making sure they’re prepared for Jehovah’s return.
Anyway, JuJu’s claim to “wokeness” is that media is “coming for” kids, we’re living in Babylon and parents should not permit their children to watch Disney Plus unsupervised. She even references Michael wearing colors such as pink and purple as if it’s a bad influence.
