A few gay-themed movies I recently saw and liked:

Southern Baptist Sissies. Actually just a filming of a play, but a good play. Del Shores (Sordid Lives) wrote and directed this comedy/drama.

The Falls and The Falls: Testament of Love. Gay Mormon companions fall in love. An unusual love story with surprise twists.

No Night Is Too Long. Speaking of surprise twists, this Canadian thriller keeps them coming.

Out To Kill. A gay murder mystery with a fun script.

Diversity-themed scifi!

We stopped racism and homophobia, but face surveillance of our weight and our words. Now a First Nation family gets caught between our oppressive government and the colony it rejected.

“A thought provoking and fun sci-fi read.”—Blogger Girls.

“A must read.” – Joe Wright, StoneWall Society.

“I recommend DEGRANON for its exciting, well-constructed narrative, its often intriguing characters, and its wealth of ideas both political and philosophical.” –J. Clark.

Be maintained, if you want to be a part of this family.”
