Sometimes, it can be hard to find quality LGBT content that isn't stereotyped (i.e. "G.B.F": an objectively stereotypical film on many levels) or poorly written (i.e. Stonewall: a potentially amazing film that botched the real life story with whitewashing and lack of quality dialogue and story). So to save you from wading through the perils of poor writing and eye-roll worthy films, heres a list of a few films and shows that are guaranteed to have you feel empowered, giddy, and everything in between. (This list is most certainly incomplete, but its a good start!)

Also: beware, there are spoilers in some of these, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't see these yourself because the experience of these great stories is nothing close to the mere summation of its contents.
