Not all of them are award-winning masterpieces of course (though some are), but Netflix clearly has made a dedicated effort to add more LGBTQ+ content to its ranks here in recent years. The streaming giant, which originally became popular in part because of its willingness to carry more explicit or “taboo” content, has dozens if not hundreds of queer television shows and films now in its library, and they’re adding more every day. One place where you can find plenty of gay and lesbian content is on Netflix. While there are increasing numbers of LGBT+ TV shows, lesbian films, gay comedies, and more – we can only hope to see the number of queer stories on-screen go up in the coming years – and with a greater diversity of genders, sexualities and races. These stories, in addition to being thoughtful entertaining, and interesting, provide great representation for queer folk young and old and open up the door for even more diverse stories in entertainment in the future. Once only hinted at or suggested, queer narratives have been making waves in the film and television world as of late, and for good reason. Over the course of the last few decades, the amount of LGBTQ+ content in media has skyrocketed.
