Gay on netflix 2022
SUMMARY
Considering the quality, quantity, and diversity of films distributed under the Netflix banner, GLAAD has given Netflix a FAIR grade.
Netflix saw some standout films this year featuring foremost LGBTQ characters: Rustin, the story of gay civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, giving the historical figure his due; Nimona, an animated kids and family film featuring a gay love story in the center of a fantasy world; and Nyad, the story of a lesbian runner overcoming the odds.
Beyond these films, though, Netflix’s programming still needs significant improvement in terms of LGBTQ representation, specifically in films where LGBTQ characters are relegated to supporting roles. This is most prominent in romantic comedies, where queer stories simply exist to bolster straight narratives, such as in Happiness For Beginners, You People, and Your Place or Mine. As GLAAD specifically called out this issue in the previous study, it is particularly disheartening that Netflix did not feature any films in this genre with LGBTQ leads.

In the meantime; Netflix, Hulu and HBO Max still hold room for the homosexuals, bisexuals and pansexuals in their hearts this month.
