What lucky queers we are to have so many movies to compare and contrast this year. From the spirited debates between #TeamHarper and #TeamRiley over the film The Happiest Season to the secondary gay couple in that other holiday movie, plus still talking about David Rose wedding.

Sharing our own unique stories is an essential tool to offer support. In honor of that reality, I am offering this list […]
