Twitter Shares Their Wishes For LGBTQ+ RomCom Pairings
We’re ready for queer romcoms to take over Hollywood!
The romcom just isn’t what it used to be, but we’re finally getting a glimpse of a resurgence of the genre, thanks in part to streaming services. And for the LGBTQ+ community, this provides hope that we’ll finally get the queer romcoms we’ve always deserved.
There have been a smattering of these films over the years — some good, some not so great — but we’re lacking anything resembling the vast catalogue of romcoms straight people have to cuddle up to and enjoy. We’re also missing the mainstream, in most cases — queer romcoms with real star power drawing audiences in.
So when @FilmUpdates recently asked the question, “Who is your dream rom-com pairing?” there was no shortage of responses that the LGBTQ+ community would love.
