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

One of the few mainstream movies made by gay writers and directors

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.

 

 Thank you for saying this. literally a weird straight fantasy of some harmless little tinkerbell maids

And they were amazing

[T.O.A.D.S.]

Heartstopper looks like a Wattpad fantasy/fairy tale written by a "Larry Stylinson" shipper.

[Mr.Link]

Any movie in which a gay character is played by a “straight” actor who is only gay for the camera/awards. Brokeback Mountain, CMBYN and anything Harry Styles will ever do come to mind. 

 

Also, only like 5% of the movies in which the lead character is gay are not about “coming out”. 

[Alyssa Edwards]

This movie possibly invented homophobia.

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

 

OT: don't know why this came to mind (the woman's reaction)

OMG, I remember Cow & Chicken (Vaca Y Pollo) lol. & I remember the devil being super weird & creepy lol. Shihhhh was wiiilllld

 

OT: I'd like to mention Spanish soap operas (telenovelas) But the way the used to & still portray gay/Homosexual/LGBTQ+/Lebow(Home Depot lovers lol InSiDe jOkE) characters was/is super terrible. They're always super feminine, Hairdressers & etc or take part in some type of "Fem" position. Idk but it's super annoying the way that they act. Oh & god forbid they actually show a gay couple. They always pull some weird b.s where they turn away from them when they kiss or show each other some form of romantic physical affection. They treat it as if it's the grossest thing in the whole entire world. 

[Daddy]

I will focus on the T part of the LGBT cause those are still to this day the most damaging:

 

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective from 1994. The big twist is that there's a transwoman that kissed Ace and he starts to throw up violently and it's so disgusting to witness. 

 

Jim tried to explain himself a few years ago and said the joke was on him because Aces reaction was so wildly over the top but that's not how the dumb straight public worked in the 90s (or still nowadays lol)

 

Then Hitchcocks Psycho that portrayed the psychotic murderer as a cross-dressing weirdo. Might be the most damaging in movie history cause of its impact on society and how they viewed trans people. (They made no difference between trans, gender queer, cross dressing etc.)

 

Same with Silence Of The Lambs and Buffalo Bill.

 

Also anything with Adam Sandler, Steve Carell and Leslie Nielsen. Bottom of the barrel humor basically with the punchline being "Oh ****, she's got a *****!!!"

Which wasn't even possible the way they did it.

How I Met Your Mother, as much I love it, is also trash when it comes to trans people. TRASH.

Q-FORCE made me homophobic

[shinyshimmery]

The early 2000s movies were full of gay jokes/ borderline homophobia. But one specific example that comes to mind is in Legally Blonde when Elle discovers Enrique is gay. It's used as a "bad" thing to villainize him.

 

and movies catering to straight frat bros ala "the hangover"

[Blade]

Surprised no one has mentioned Friends yet. Love the show but whew is it homophobic. Even with the Lesbian couple being recurring characters.

Bradley literally says "paging Dr. ***" in the first one

[Genius1111]

The portrayal of the character Twink in Q-Force 

 

The other characters were fine, actually. The show would have been so much better if they had written Twink differently. 

 

_________

 

Cherry Magic with only one kiss between the two leads Adachi and Kurosawa. Some of us call it Cherryphobic for a reason. It is still a heartwarming show, nonetheless.

 

_________

 

Any show where the male character declares he's not gay, but only has strong feelings for just that 1 guy. Such people do exist, I suppose, but it still makes me cringe when I watch it.

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

didnt the creator of that show also do Ren and stimpy  

[EdgeofTeeth]

Every movie/TV show that portrays gay characters as shallow, bitchy, emotionally narrow sex addicts always on the hunt for the next hookup or incapable of maintaining a healthy relationship. It genuinely makes me angry that this is still so common.

Squid Game easily. I mean having that being the only gay character on the show is distasteful. 

[Robert]

I hate stuff normalising predatory behaviour so CMBYN and QaF (referring to UK one as I haven’t seen the US one).

 

Also SATC had horrible portrayal of bi and trans people.
