I'm just a boy, standing in front of Hollywood, begging for more joyful LGBTQ films

If I own to watch another LGBTQ coming out story onscreen, I will pull all my hair out.

OK – that's an exaggeration. But tiresome coming out stories like that of 2020's "Happiest Season" or 2018's "Love, Simon" are a dime a dozen, and focus too harshly on the part of the queer exposure I am least interested in absorbing onscreen anymore: trauma.

I’ve always considered TCM my film school and I know so many others who didn’t go to traditional film school perceive the same way. Within the last few years I’ve seen TCM travel even further in their commitment to educating their audience by giving diverse voices a place to speak. We’ve grown as a society and the network has been very good at reflecting that, so I was thrilled to see TCM spotlighting important queer filmmakers and films during the month of June, Pride Month. The spotlight on Classic Hollywood’s LGBTQ community couldn’t have come at a better time since Moonlight won the Oscar for Top Picture this year, the first for a movie that features a same-sex attracted lead.
