20 Upcoming LGBTQ+ Movies We're Looking Forward To
The LGBTQ+ community’s ties to Hollywood and cinema have been deeply intertwined from the early days of the medium. And yet, the fight for authentic representation of queer people in film continues to be a rarity (especially when it comes to high-profile movies). With the 2025 movie schedule here (and Pride Month coming up very soon!) there’s quite a few LGBTQ+ titles to look forward to, and we’ve rounded up what to look forward to below.
Coming Soon
Honey Don’t! - August 22, 2025
In 2024, Ethan Coen and wife Tricia Cooke made Drive-Away Dolls, which they called the first of their planned “Lesbian B-Movie Trilogy”, which continues with this summer’s Honey Don’t. The dusky comedy once again stars Margaret Qualley as a lesbian private eye named Honey Donahue who gets embroiled in a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church in the movie also starring Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, Billy Eichner and Chris Evans. I can’t wait for this one.

Pride Month Viewing: 20 Buzzy LGBTQ Movies Of 2025
With another Pride Month underway, LGBTQ rights and representation in media have never been more important.
Following the Trump administration’s attacks on DEI and recent attempt to cancel Pride Month, GLAAD is preparing to release its 13th annual Studio Responsibility Index on June 11, showing the lowest percentage of LGBTQ-inclusive films in the past three editions of the report. The study tracks scripted films released in 2024 from ten top film distributors.
Although those numbers are bleak, LGBTQ stories continue finding a way to the big screen and streamers alike, with titles from Andrew Ahn, Bill Condon and Ethan Coen, navigating topics of same-sex marriage, police profiling, sex work and anti-trans legislation.
From groundbreaking documentaries to kink-driven romance and intergenerational stories of family and community, these are some of the buzziest unused and upcoming LGBTQ releases of 2025.

Bijou Theater

A few years back there was an art gallery further North on Wells St. that had an exhibit based on the owner of the Bijou. There were giant mugs shots from the `70’s in the gallery window.
There was also an apparent failed bombing in the early `90’s that I mentioned over on the Aardvark CT page. According to news reports at the the time, the would be bomber accidentally blew himself up while alledgedly enroute to the Bijou. Though I’m not sure if this was ever proven to be true, or just speculation due to the bomber’s supposed criminal ties. Might have just been the media trying to link the theatre to other seedy activities.
Though the theatre may specialize in gay porn, I believe the accompanying book/DVD store caters to a hetero adult clientele as well. Even though we grew up in the area, we never arrange foot in this place. The Royal London Wax Museum down the street was more our interest. Until the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum opened up across the stre
