While this claim has sparked discussions about censorship and corporate control in the animation industry, the central question is: why does LGBTQIA+ representation matter so much to young audiences?

21 LGBTQ+ horror films to watch this Halloween

admin, , , ,

Cooper Koch appears here twice, just FYI. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS Queerness and horror have always been intertwined.

Whether it’s the questioning of a villain’s humanity, the non-normative characters that don’t conform to societal expectations or the drama of it all, queer elements and queer-coded subtext have always been there. To mark Gay Christmas, we’ve collected some of…

Pretend to like films to entrap Hinge matches? You’d better be taking notes.   WORDS ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH Across reboots, reimaginings and remakes, everything in movie-land feels…kind of familiar. From the million Marvel movies to the musical adaptations that we didn’t need (yes, we’re on about Mean Girls – even if we do stan Reneé Rapp as gay Regina George), we’re getting a serious case of cinema déjà-vu.  The only bright spot? Queer (or queer-adjacent) big-hitters like Drive Away Dolls, Love Lies Bleeding, Monica, Passages and Challengers which have lit up cinema…
