Gay movies with happy end
The Incredibly True Story of Two Girls In. I've noticed a lot of lists on here for gay movies with happy endings always include films that DON'T have happy endings, just because no one dies. And can we blame star Billy Eichner for being salty that the movie underperformed?
Well, the same thing everyone else wants! And in that spirit, here are seven of the best queer movies with happy endings. However, thanks to director Billy Porter, this Amazon film not only delivers a trans-tastic happy endingbut accomplishes it in smart, big-hearted style.
That said, it also technically has a happy ending. This meant that filmmakers working with queer stories had to lean into stereotypes for laughs or suffuse queer stories with tragedy in order to gain public sympathy. Where do you get off? But if we only saw sad endings, then we would never experience joy and thus never gain enough power to turn everyone gay.
As a bonus, the Pride and Prejudice riff features hilarious performances from stars Bowen Yang and Joel Kim Booster, as well as a bevy of spot-on cultural references. Until the Tenties, mainstream media representation of queer people was generally curated for straight viewers.
Movies with trans characters have taken even longer to lighten up than their cis counterparts. A bunch of undemanding movies to binge while covered in Cheeto dust on Saturday afternoons. Here's what they said!
1. This movie was almost the lesbian Brokeback Mountain — that is, a devastatingly bleak Oscar nominee, but with lesbians. All of this culminates in one of the most gory and shocking happy endings of any of the rom-coms on this list. Fortunately, gay movies with happy endings do exist, and we've got 21 of them right here, plus where you can stream them today.
Movies That Are Just : I've not watched most of these yet, just gotten them from others' suggestions
This was his baby. If these were straight romances that ended in breakups, no one would call them happy endings. After all, if we saw happy endings for ourselves on screen, then we would eventually think bigger and want marriage equality or something.
That way, audiences get the trembling, forbidden queer love of classic lesbian films, but without the ending that makes them devour three tubs of ice cream. Thankfully, this rom-com challenges that stereotype by coupling the proudly pansexual Harry with the prickly gay Sam.
Also, the movie is directed by legendary Queer as Folk star Peter Paige! The movie, about a pair of horny queer buddies who accidentally incite murderous chaos by trying to get laid, packs on the laughs. This is a supremely silly and endearingly entertaining film, and as a huge plus, it features full-frontal male nudity.
To this day, I believe that these movies were part of a conspiracy to make queer people depressed. Fire Islandwhich follows a group of friends in the titular queer paradise, is no exception. We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their favourite LGBTQ+ films that have happy endings.
And what do queer people want? Any adaptation of a Jane Austen novel is bound to have a happy ending.
