discussion Series / Movies that felts homophobic / damaging to LGBT People ?

[MoonGoodandHappy]

Have you ever seen a movie or a serie that felt a little homophobic ? 

[TaylorNation]

everybody praises The Birdcage but I thought it was really offensive 

[The7thStranger]

Queer as Folk sometimes went a bit overboard in making sure that the characters were almost never happy. It was pretty cynical.

 

Sex and the City, for as much as like the franchise, treated queer characters horribly. It’s hard to look back on certain moments.

 

I personally hate the premise of Queer Eye, although I respect what it did at the time. I used to watch it because it was one of the only shows on TV with actual gay people on it.

[Saintlor]

Basically every single series pre-2015

[Dula Peep]

the new Queer as Folk with the Pulse shooting storyline 

[Into The Void]

I mean obviously older shows pre- 2000s

The butt plug scene in Everything Everywhere All At Once

Call me by your name

 

Definition of a "gay" movie made by straight people, for straight people.

I don't know if it was damaging or homophobic, but I feel like 13 Reasons Why kind of turned it into a joke when they started making every second character LGBT.

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

It was a cartoon, but Cow and Chicken had that stereotypical gay devil that was obsessed with ass  

 

They also had an episode where like 10 butch lesbians on bikes intrude a home and eat someones carpet

[Zeferino]

I’m going to say “Glee” 

 

 

[TheCheshireCat]

Queer Eye is one I refuse to watch as it seems the primary consumers of that show are straight women.

I don't know, it plays out like a weird fantasy, 5 ethnically diverse fairies coming over for a few days and make all your problems go away! They tidy your house, they teach you how to dress, they domesticate their bumbling husband and empower the girl to rock that dress she's always wanted to wear (but is too scared). Then they go away leaving everything a little more fabulous than it was before.

No thanks.

Call Me By Your Name is already aging poorly and it’s not even that old. The discourse around that film is only going to worsen considering Armie is a maniac. 

[JonginBey]

Anything with Chris Pratt.

Squid Game because of that VIP episode

I always knew about the gay devil but don’t remember this eating carpet episode OMG

Wouldn't say it was damaging but sex and the City gay portrayal was very stereotypical of how gays were used to seen. Many shows did that but I don't think it's particularly damaging, it was just the times.

[arceus]

Anything featuring overly fem gays (except SpongeBob because the show is actually funny)

Exactly. It's like they studied how to do the most damage to gays with one character and one scene. 

[Mobility Mary]

Everything Everywhere All At Onde felt homophobic to me even tho one of the main plots was about a mother accepting her gay daughter

 

Dune is also homophobic af, I’m glad the new movie didn’t include that

Call By Your Name's director, screenwriter and producers are all gay so this makes no sense
