Look over the menagerie of LGBT movies and TV shows released in carefully enough, and you&#;ll detect as many hidden gems as you will worsening cracks. In others words, there&#;s good news and bad news — but in the year&#;s overall impressive lineup, also a glimmer of hope.
On the small screen, the seemingly unending aftermath of the streaming bubble burst from saw the &#;Cancel Your Gays&#; trend push forward as LGBT series ended abruptly, and fewer projects were green lit to take their place. Stand-up comedy specials, particularly those at Netflix, continued to platform contradictory political voices with hugely disparate views about human rights — which created some bizarre situations, for good and for bad.

It's a tender, refreshing watch at queerness and chosen family and what it means to actually associate.
