Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature!!
While a lot of other amazing animated movies were nomininated this year, most notable Incredibles 2, a win for Spider-Verse is a big deal considering it is one of the few times mainstream audiences have seen an Afro-Latinx lead character predominantly featured in a superhero movie, a genre that is still overwhelmingly white. 
Spider-Verse was amazingly diverse, and brought a much-needed freshness to a predictable film category. We're so glad it won!!!
\u201cAnd the #Oscars winner is...\u201d

        9 LGBTQ+ movies that were rated NC-17 and where to watch them

LGBTQ+ movies rated NC-17: Bent, Henry & June, Trois

        Sony Pictures Classics; Universal Pictures; Rainforest Films
    
This week, Maya & Samar director Anita Doran clapped back at the MPAA for slapping her lesbian romance with the dreaded NC-17 rating, pointing out the organization’s double standards when it comes to penalizing queer sex on screen.
Receiving an NC-17 rating is often seen as a commercial kiss of death, making it difficult to distribute or screen the film. The choice filmmakers face is often to compromise their artistic vision or risk disappearing into obscurity.

'Maya & Samar'

        Serendipity Point Films
    
In an era of repressive sexual politics, one filmmaker is calling out the MPAA for slapping her lesbian romance with an NC-17 rating.
Director Anita Doran is outraged that her film Maya & Samar, which centers on a love story between a Canadian journalist and a queer Afghan woman, recieved the highly restrictive rating.

        9 LGBTQ+ fall movies to curl up with this season and where to watch them
    
Andrew J. Stillman
October 27 2025 / 3:49 PM
The Half of It; Weekend; Portrait of a Lady on Fire

        Netflix; Synchronicity Films; Lilies Films
    
When the leaves turn and the days start shrinking, there’s a particular kind of movie that just feels right. Something intimate, heartfelt, a little melancholic, and the type of story you watch under a blanket with a mug of something warm. And for queer audiences, fall is the perfect time to lean into those slower, softer stories that blend love, longing, and self-discovery.
Sure, summer has the beach rom-coms and winter brings the holiday chaos, but autumn? Autumn belongs to the wistful glances, the letters never sent, and the romance that sneaks up between cups of cider. From classic sapphic dramas to small-town gay comfort films, these nine queer movies capture the spirit of the season in different shades of cozy, complicated, and beautifully human.
