When it comes to looking back at LGBTQ movies (and characters) in 2023, it’s reassuring to know that representation still matters, and we are, in fact, everywhere onscreen. Here is a list of some of the best.
When it comes time to compile a “best of” list for the year, it’s a relatively simple process. I ask myself what albums I kept returning to time and time again. Beginning with Brandy Clark’s eponymous fourth album (which got the most spins of all) and concluding with Man On Man’s sensational second album “Provincetown,” it was a very queer year.

It may be set 80 years ago in Poland, but it will feel viscerally resonant and familiar to many people living in the US today.

But oops, you forgot that one hard-to-buy-for aunt, and you haven't gotten anything for your babysitter. And, and, and... you're out of ideas. So how about something to read? See if these great books don't give you some guidance...
Books really and truly are the gifts that keep on giving.
