Hello! Happy June! It's Pride and I have another question (4/30)

Today we are talking about queer representation in media. In 1894 "The Dickson Experimental Sound Film" is released, becoming the first "gay film". It was also known as "The Gay Brothers", it feature two men dancing together and it reportedly "shocked audiences with its subversion of conventional male behaviour". Unfortunately, in 1934 the USA introduced the Hays Code, which, while it didn't explicitly ban queerness, banned queerness in effect. This resulted in three decades of queer-coded villains, such as Joel Cairo in "The Maltese Falcon" (1941) and Jack Favell in "Rebecca" (1940).

The Hays Code was lifted in 1968, and the queer cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was released in 1975, and gave a much-needed positive and FUN representation of queer people and queerness. Unfortunately, this was short-lived, as the rising AIDs crisis worsened the stigma around the gay community. This didn't stop everyone though, and in 1985 "Desert Hearts" was released; regarded as the first mainstream lesbian film with a happy ending.

Further on, the first gay kiss on TV in the UK was on "EastEnders" in 1989, "Ellen" became the first American tv show with an openly gay lead in 1997, and other show such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" started to add recurring LGBTQ+ characters. An important show in the UK was "Queer as Folk" (1999) which was one of the first shows to depict the queer community as vibrant and alive.

Even further forward, and "Moonlight" (2017) became the first LGBTQ+ film (and the first all-black cast) to win Best Picture at the Oscars. GLAAD publishes an annual report showing how representation is changing. 2005-2006 1.4% of regular characters vs 2020-2021 the figure is at 9.1%. So, there is still a long way to go obviously, especially because media is often the main or only place that young people have an insight into the community at all.

Because of this, I want to ask you for a recommendation: What is a piece of queer media that you think more people should see? (it can be literally anything, big/small, funny/sad, smart/stupid <- just anything you think deserves to be watched!:))

(I'll go first: "Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho" (or "I Don't Want to Go Back Alone) is a really really cute Brazillian short film available on Youtube! (if you enjoy it, there is also a full-length film version called "Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho" (or "The Way He Looks"))

Happy Pride 🌈 🎉

ooh thank you for the recs :3 umm i wish i had a ton off the top of my head that i've actually watched but i will say i did love moonlight obvs. one that ive been meaning to watch for a while is alucarda (1977) which is a mexican horror/thriller lesbian/wlw film.. ARCANE watch arcane i love arcane... a couple others on my watch list are badhaai do, pariah, and tangerine. >_< but im a cheerleader is a comfort film for sure too

(When I made my detective verse, I didn't have Benoit Blanc in mind, but now I wouldn't mind Will being a fashion icon, helping women with privileged assholes. Oh and having a lovely husband)

i just think like it's hard to deal w something that could explode at any second whitout any warning so the best way to deal with it is not risking it and getting away from it ykim

If it werent supermarket sushi being available under snap/ebt id be literally malnourished everyday im so thankful for hyvee

I've been thinking about a series in mind, but I don't know if you guys would like it, so I'm going to say it anyway and tell me what u guys think

So it's basically a series abt the Pillar Men (mainly Santana) and rightttt it's still the same timeline from Battle Tendency, perhaps maybe an AU or some sorts?

Black reader (ofc) and I want the reader to be also in a native tribe ykim?? A black native. A tribe where the women are the dominant ones where they go out hunting, help craft important things, agricultural, etc.

I want this series to be romantic... but also DRAMATIC. YK LIKE?? I can't explain it, but I want the plot to be where the reader's parents has planned an arranged marriage for you to marry a guy who's the son of one of thr many leaders of said tribe. But obviously, you're more interested in Santana and u gotta keep it a secret from your family

Some of you may ask, "But how would the reader and Santana even come across each other? 🤓" For that, I don't know. Maybe while out hunting for food, they cross paths, they exchange a few words, and then Santana BOUNCE!

If anyone would like...idk maybe give me feedback n whatnot and see if you guys actually fw the idea lemme knowww

See i think hes a dirtbag no doubt but i rlly do think attempting to appeal to ppls sympathies bc he s indigenous was like... Not rlly why he signed tht letter ykim? Like i think thts his tittybaby reactionary response but not Why he isnt supportive of palestinians. His real reason tht he fell for the dehumanization of a whole group of ppl n isnt willing to be mask off abt it yet bc his handlers managed to reign him in somewhat

🤔

dewey gives off vibes that he wasnt diagnosed as autistic until he was like. 30 or 40. ykim

Absolutely. He goes and gets a diagnosis after Janine meets Maddox and sort of just.....

He's happy to finally have a word for why he is the way he is.

Janine gets him a little patch for his vest. He hasn't quite gotten around to sewing it on yet, but the plan is there, he has to find the perfect spot first.
