Life for LGBT individuals has changed rapidly over the past few years-increased visibility, increased human rights and increased acceptance.
But, in gay films, it’s often difficult to find myself represented-my own reality as a twenty-something gay man. We’re a diverse group, encapsulated under a number of different letters (LGBTQIA and it goes on!). While some gay movies just seem to perpetuate stereotypes, I often find them quite interesting-showing off elements of gay culture I’m maybe not as familiar with. Simultaneously the sexiest and the sweetest gay film I’ve seen, Theo et Hugo dans le meme bateau (it’s English title: Paris 05:59), captures my feelings and my attitudes of being a gay millennial.
