The best LGBTQ+ movies to watch this Pride Month on Netflix

June is Pride Month, a celebration of LGBTQ+ people, art, and culture.
These 10 movies, which are available to stream on Netflix, all deal with queer subject matter.
Pride Month has been celebrated since 1970, though it wasn't officially recognized in the US until 1999, when President Bill Clinton declared June to be "Gay and Lesbian Pride Month." Over the years, it has become more inclusive and now represents any identity across the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
Companies around the world now also mark Pride, sometimes to criticism. Some have been accused of "rainbow-washing," which is when a brand supports the queer community for clout or to make money, rather than out of actual activism.
But Pride is also a time to hear new stories from this community.
These 10 movies, now streaming on Netflix, are a good way to be both entertained and educated.
