I’ve been putting together this list of Queer Holiday films for a while now and I’m honestly surprised at the amount I have found. Now I haven’t seen most of these, a lot of these have Queer side characters and not main characters (I’ll be sure to mention which ones are which). I currently have over 40 Holiday films that feature a Queer character, I’ll obviously not be watching all of them this year but I’ll watch a good bit of them and post my thoughts about the representation and how much said Queer character is actually shown in the movie and whether or not it should be on this list. (Apologies if any of these are wrong, again I haven’t seen most of these). I’ll add to this list if I find more. Obviously the ones you don’t want to pay for you can probably find *ahem* elsewhere..
