Enjoy Pride Documentaries


(I am going on a trip to see family so I am not planning to post much if at all for the next 2 weeks, I will be back to posting June 30th if not sooner)

Just another reminder that no matter where you fall within the LGBTQ+ community, from ace to pan, from binary to nonbinary, a storyteller who remembers or a listener who is learning, you are include, you are loved, you are wonderful.

As I said last week this month I am focusing on LGBTQ+ films/documentaries. I will keep you updated on what I have seen as the month progresses as a way to spotlight different LGBTQ+ stories and experiences.

  • Mapplethorpe: Look at the Picture (2016), documentary exploring the life and career of controversial American artist Robert Mapplethorpe who died of AIDS in 1989, LGBTQ+ focused, explicit but mainly just photos of male gentile and discussions about sex etc.
  • When I knew (2008), short documentary where individuals talked about when they knew they were LGBTQ+, LGBTQ+ focused, G rated. 
  • Behind the Candelabra (2013) A Biographical Drama about Liberace set in 1970's/1980's Las Vegas, LGBTQ+ Focused, TV-MA
  • Suited (2016), documentary about a NYC tailor shop who focuses on the LGBTQ+ community and created suites people feel good in, LGBTQ+ focused, G rated 
  • Wig (2019), documentary about Wigstock and the NYC Drag community, LGBTQ+ focused, Some nakedness and language
My roommate took out her free week of HBO trial for us to watch In The Heights so I have been watching HBO while I can. This week ended up being very documentary heavy covering a wide range of LGBTQ+ experiences from LGBTQ+ artists, to the drag scene in NYC, to the important work an LGBTQ+ tailor shop is doing by helping people (with a focus on trans/gender nonbinary individuals) have suites that make them feel comfortable within their own skin.
