one of my 2026 goals has been to watch more queer media that is considered classic and/or historically relevant
so, what we've accomplished thus far:
The Boy Foretold by the Stars (2020) considered the first mainstream BL film for the Philippines Aikane (2023) Anders als die Andern (1919) first sympathetic portrayal of gay men in film Yes or No (2010) considered the first Thai lesbian movie The Watermelon Woman (1996) first known feature length film to be directed by a Black lesbian Tokyo Godfathers (2003) I Can't Think Straight (2008) To Wong Foo,Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)
