The 8 Best Lesbian Movies on Netflix to Inspire Your Next Main Character Moment
You're going to want to add these to your Netflix list RN.
While positive LGBTQ+ representation has finally made its way to mainstream media in Hollywood, there's still a long way to go when it comes to lesbian movies. These days, we see more diverse casts and characters on our screens. The issue? They usually take the form of a quirky sidekick or the supportive bestie who provides comedic relief for the main character despite going through their own journeys. There's nothing wrong with supporting characters — except when they're supposed to represent a community that needs support itself.
Lesbians and queer women want to see themselves better reflected in media, which means they need to be front 👏and 👏 center👏. They deserve cute musical movies like The Prom and a heart-wrenching slow burn that hits close to home like Alice Wu's The Half Of It. Lucky for us, Netflix's wide range of titles that includes both these movies, thrillers that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, and documentaries that chronicle the inspiring stories of real-life people. Ahead, find the best lesbian movies on Netflix.
