Is summer rally on its way out? You wouldn't know, what with temps the way they've been, and how hot some of the upcoming movies and TV shows are! August is usually a hot month anyway, so it's a great time to stay inside with the AC running and some queer content on the tube. Whether explicitly LGBTQ+ related or simply campy adjacent, these titles will delight, inform, frighten, or simply entertain. The Advocate put together a nice selection of titles, from the large and small screens, so let's dive into part two of their collection.
Who doesn't love a good true-crime series, especially if there's a satisfying outcome with a tough female at the center? "In this gripping three-part docuseries, Samantha shares her story publicly for the first time, recounting more than a decade of fear, resistance and resilience. Featuring never-before-seen police interview footage, surveillance from the storage unit, and disturbing images and videos recovered from Christopher’s phone, the series also includes powerful testimony from Samantha’s friends and the investigators who helped bring her stalker to justice." (From the ABC News press site.)
Muscle hunk John Cena plays the blatantly bisexual superhero in the series created by James Gunn, he of "woke Superman" fame. Gunn has said that the character's bisexuality actually grew out of Cena's improvisational skills and willingness to take the character where few others would have been willing. Gunn and Cena are praised for their fully-realised queer representation, not often seen, especially with bisexual characters.
Yes, Margaret Qualley's lead detective "Honey" is a lesbian. Yes, there are many queer characters. Yes, it exists in a world where queerness is normalized. And yes, it looks like violent, darkly funny, kick-ass fun! Also, directed by Ethan Coen, so that's a huge plus.
A lead character, Mitsuki Yamato, is a lesbian, and her emotional story arc revolves around the death of her girlfriend during the initial invasion. Will the show lean into the "bury your gays" trope? How that is interpreted depends on individual experiences.
Ugh. Her again.
Wow, there's a lot going on with this sci-fi thriller about death, a digital hereafter, AI, sentient evil AI, evil humans, VR vs. IRL, 3D printed food, holographic phones, self-driving vehicles, and a couple of lesbians! Watch for series regular characters Karina and Aleesha.
A pair of the iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of OzI was stolen in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in her hometown of Grand Rapids, MN. This documentary traces how the search for them, from the local police to the FBI, following a clue of a single sequin, resulted in a conviction and the shoes going on auction for $28 million! True crime and the Wizard of Oz? Super gay!
While the queer relationship between Achilles and Menan in this animated series is more implied and queer coded, writers and creators state clearly that yes, the characters have a personal relationship. Some wish it were more explicit, but the grander theme of inclusivity and representation inherent in much of the MCU is all there.
21 male and female hot-bodied...virgins? Sure, why not? They're gathered on a tropical island, naturally, to find their first and maybe forever love. Virgins for various reasons, we won't judge (except for the religious ones!), they gather with queer hosts Colton Underwood (gay, The Bachelor) and Kaitlyn Bristowe (bisexual, The Bachelorette). As Glamour writes, "This show will either be a fresh, sex-positive look at the difference between sex, romance, love, and intimacy and demystify the adult virgin once and for all…or turn out to be the most crass reality TV attention grab since The Swan." Hey, at least there will be pretty bods to check out!
