The Birdcage
This hilarious movie came out in 1996, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Touching on a wide range of topics including drag shows, political pressures, marriage, and family this movie addresses these situations with a ton of laughter and fun… what else could you expect from Robin Williams really?
Brokeback Mountain
Subject to much debate and criticism, this movie was far ahead of its time. People just weren’t ready for this. But times have changed! This movie demands a rewatch. This story illustrates the heartbreaking truth of what it’s really like to be in a love that is forbidden.
Love is Love is Love

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
Another hilarious movie with an unlikely cast: Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo play drag queens that get stranded in a small country town and have to keep their secret hidden while they influence change in the residents they encounter. Empowerment and pride ensue.
The Laramie Project
This true crime movie based on actual events will wrench your heart. Senseless and blind hatred leads to the murder of an innocent young man, which rattles the small town of Laramie Wyoming and shocks a nation. Be prepared that this one can be difficult to watch.
Boys Don’t Cry
Starring Hillary Swank as Brandon Teena, a young man born biologically female. Brandon is trying to get away from the small-town life and mentality surrounding him. Instead ends up caught in a dysfunctional love triangle for which his life may be the price. Another heart breaker to bring awareness to the ways that blind hatred and ignorance can have severe impacts on innocent lives.
