We round up some critically acclaimed films that shed light on the LGBTQIA+ community; all of which you can easily access on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and iWant
The cries and pleas of the LGBTQIA+ community during the remarkable Stonewall riots of 1969 continue to echo up to this day; and since then June has been marked as Pride Month across the globe. The plight of the members of this ever-growing community has been reflected through literature, theatre arts, fine arts, music, dance, television and cinema, in an attempt to continue the fight against homophobia and campaign for equal rights. The fight has already come a long way after the half-century existence of the annual Pride Month, but it is far from over. Amid the scare of the global pandemic, gay rights advocates and movements here and abroad continue their celebration of Pride Month through social and mass media. Today, we've rounded up some films for you to enjoy and discuss among your peers as to why we need to impose equal rights for all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions.
