shame 25,360 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Probably not in the near future. And we can't blame them. LGBT struggles and relationships are really complex, diverse and nuanced. We can't vy for absolute perfect representation. Even straight romance is butchered by cis Hollywood angels forever, forever angels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even straight romance is butchered by cis Hollywood this is true, however there's a plethora of openly lgbt+ actors, they could've had them play the leads in CMBYN or Love, Simon. They could've made stonewall with gay and trans actors etc and there's also lgbt+ directors too. Hollywood focuses too much on names and money than art it seems.

PunkTheFunk 124,445 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I think it'll take a while before that happens Black people fought for their civil rights in the 60s and it's only now, 50-60 years later, that we're starting to get films like Black Panther that give them proper representation. My guess is that by the end of the 21st century LGBT films will become so ordinary no one will even question it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBYN is a movie written by straight people, about gay people, for straight people. The movie is as gay as Shawn Mendes or Nick Jonas actually are. 0%. The movie is creepy and so is the novel.

ryanripley 86,575 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Call Me By Your Name isn't perfect but it is good HOWEVER God's Own Country is a slow mess and i'm sick of that stereotype of gay men who are internally homophobic initiating sex by basically wrestling and fighting each other until somebody slips inside the other https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Cruz 202 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 You mean a movie with only LGBT people ? No straight people ? Seems pretty retarded to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're played by two straight actors It's a good start but we need more mainstream films that encompass the diversity of the LGBT community.

Melania K Trump 6,294 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm kind of thirsty for a well written LGBT+ film about bisexual men and/or the gay experience in lesser known parts of the world, like Asia, Africa or the Arab world tbh, constantly seeing only white twinks fall in love in the only gay movies available is just a bit... disparaging as someone thats asian. Not to say that those movies aren't good in their own right. I'd just like another perspective for once. Current First Lady of the United States. Praying for my husband's death.

Seems pretty retarded to me. i never said that, i simply said with LGBT people portrayed by ACTUAL LGBT people and directed by LGBT directors, of course there'd be straight people in it... they make up the majority of the population of the planet more like how BP was 99% all-black cast with a black director Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Moonlight kinda of went there by portraying the experience of black gay men however it was still done by straight people and i don't think it was THAT amazing of a movie and highlighted more about homophobia and internalised homophobia than showing a gay experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
