Moonlight made history at the 2017 Academy Awards , becoming the first LGBTQ+-related film and the first with an all-Black cast to win the Oscar for Best Picture. The three-part narrative follows a young Black man’s coming of age in an impoverished Miami neighborhood, where he grapples with his sexuality, manhood, and the abuse he suffered at the hands of bullies and a single mother addicted to drugs. It was based off of the play, In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue , written by Tarrell Alvin McCraney.
The “Empress of Blues” not only fought against racism, sexism, economic inequality, and violent white supremacists, but she also subversively made music that captured aspects of what it means to be bisexual .

This 2014 film follows a gay high schooler raised in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, as he reconciles his sexuality and Christian faith, as well as a complex family dynamic . The teen’s sister has gone missing, and experiences affirmation from one parent, while the other (portrayed by Oscar-winner Mo’Nique) lashes out upon realizing her son is romantically involved with a slightly older filmmaker.

In what would be Black gay documentarian Marlon Riggs’ final film, Black Is, Black Ain’t illustrates how there’s no singular, monolithic way for people to be Black within a community that’s diverse in its own right. Riggs blends various artforms, scholars, interviews and his own direct addresses to the audience, as he hurries to finish the film while dying of complications from AIDS.
After returning home from prison, a father arrives to a family dynamic that’s changed while he was incarcerated. He learns that his wife cheated on him, and that one of his children has transitioned. Together, they navigate various life decisions in an environment that isn’t affirming of LGBTQ+ people.
After his parents kick him out for being gay, a young Black painter enters a homeless shelter, where he meets an older Black gay poet. The elder character is based on the life of Bruce Nugent, who made important contributions during the Harlem Renaissance, and imparts that he endured some of the same hardships that the younger artist has come to encounter.
After his boyfriend dies, a Black gay drag queen (Ving Rhames) becomes friends with a single mother and her daugther. He unwittingly becomes a father figure to the young girl after her mother (Alfre Woodard) relapses with a drug addiction, and makes an effort to build with the family.

PUNKS , a 2000 film made by Noah’s Arc creator Patrik-Ian Polk, follows four Black gay men who are all close friends searching for a fulfilling romantic relationship. The comedic take (which is quite difficult at actually viewing as there were distribution issues) explores what it means to be Black and gay while also shedding light on the everyday struggles shared as part of the human experience.
In the first feature film directed by a Black lesbian (Cheryl Dunye), Watermelon Woman depicts a lesbian woman and movie enthusiast who works in a video store. After discovering and taking exception to how Black women are uncredited or depicted as stereotypes in films throughout history, she makes it her mission to learn more about one actress who was only noted as “The Watermelon Woman.”
Mississippi Damned features three siblings who each confront their family’s generational traumas and whether or not they’ll choose to lead lives that break the cycle. The movie takes a look at their lives as children in 1986, and then skips 12 years into the future. Among the characters is Leigh, a lesbian who isn’t out and struggles with the news that her girlfriend is marrying a man. Tessa Thompson also stars in Mississippi Damned , which is directed by Black lesbian film maker and screenwriter Tina Mabry.
Two young Kenyan women enter a budding romance despite the fact that their fathers are running against each other for local political office. Together, they build a relationship that must remain secret because homosexuality is illegal.

If you loved Paris Is Burning , there’s a solid chance you’ll also fall in love with Kiki , a 2016 documentary that focuses on a group of young LGBTQ+ people in New York City that are a part of a subset of the ballroom community. While the film highlights the beauty in what ballroom presently looks and feels like , Kiki also examines the systemic injustices experienced within the community, such as homelessness, prejudice in policing, and lack of access to vital resources.

SOMETIMES the best way to tell the truth is to make up a story, and that's what filmmaker and actress Cheryl Dunye has done in order to examine black women in the history of movies and the secret lives of Hollywood lesbians.
Dunye plays herself, a young, black, lesbian filmmaker trying to shoot a movie about a woman who has fascinated her, an actress referred to in the credits of a 1930s movie only as the Watermelon Woman. In this documentary-style feature, the character of Cheryl combs through libraries and archives in search of a woman whose name, she learns, is Fae Richards.
Cheryl forms a spiritual kinship with Richards (played in invented film clips and photographs by the lovely Lisa Marie Bronson) after seeing her in a film in which she plays a mammy on a plantation.
The film, Cheryl tells us, was directed by a Dorothy Arzner-like character, one of the relatively few successful women directors of that era. Cheryl, who is having an affair with Diana (Guinevere Turner), one of the customers of the video store where she works, is fascinated to learn that Richards and the director were lovers.
Eventually, with the help of her friend Tamara (Valarie Walker), Cheryl tracks down a lesbian who knew Richards and this leads to discovering a heap of Fae Richards memorabilia.
Until the end of the picture, it is never quite clear whether Cheryl has made a great new discovery or if the whole movie is a big spoof. Dunye's accomplishment is that she made a movie that is both. Adding to the cleverness is an interview with cultural critic Camille Paglia who comments on Richards as a representative of her era.
Dunye collaborated with photographer Zoe Leonard to create the photographs that make up the "life" of Fae Richards. And we're treated to the work of singer-songwriter Toshi Reagon, who appears as a guitar-playing street performer in cutaways throughout the movie.
Dunye is a plucky figure who found a successful approach to routine material - discovering one's place in the prevailing culture - that could have been deadly. She's a worthy filmmaker and a good actress, too.
