films with gay asian main characters

Fire - (1996, dir. Deepa Mehta) Indian-Canadian drama centering around Sita and Radha, two indian women trapped in their loveless marriages. Sita is married to the cruel and unfaithful Jatin while Radha is married to his brother Ashok, an extremely religious and conservative man. When the women realize how similar their situations actually are, the begin to bond and grow closer. It was one of the first mainstream bollywood films to depict homosexuality!

Happy Together - (1997, dir. Wong Kar-wai) Hong Kong romantic drama following gay couple Ho Po-wing and Lai Yiu-fai as they travel to Argentinia in a last ditch effort to save their failing, turbulent relationship. Every time things seem to start looking up, they fall back into the same toxic, abusive patterns. The films stars Leslie Cheung, who was actually an openly bisexual man.

I can’t think straight - (2008, dir. Shamim Sarif) independent romantic drama about a london based Palestinian bride-to-be who falls in love with the British-Indian muslim woman currently dating her best (and male) friend. The two lead actresses also star in another lesbian film together, directed by the same woman, “The world unseen.”

Saving Face - (2004, dir. Alice Wu) American rom-com focusing on Wil, a young Chinese-American surgeon, her dancer girlfriend, and her single and pregnant mother. Wil is closeted and hasnt yet told her mom that she’s gay. While her mother makes plans to set her up with sons of friends, Wil is inexplicably drawn to a female dancer.

Spider Lilies - (2007, dir. Zero Chou) Taiwanese drama film following a webcam girl who develops an almost obsessive fascination with a female tattoo artist and the large spider lily tattoo splayed across her arm.

The Handmaiden - (2016, dir. Park Chan-wook) South Korean lesbian revenge thriller loosely based off the novel “fingersmith” by Sarah Waters. Definitely my favorite film on this, its stunning. Set in 1930s Korea, a Korean con man devises a plot to liberate a Japanese heiress out of her inheritance, and ropes an orphaned female pickpocket into helping him. But what happens when she grows closer to the gentlewoman than she originally expected? 

Tropical Malady - (2004, dir. Apichatpong Weerasthakul) Thai psychological drama in two parts. Part 1 follows a romance between two men and part 2 tells that tale of a soldier lost in the woods, haunted by a shaman spirit. Keng is a soldier stationed in a rural Thai village. While out in the fields one day, he meets a local man named Tong. 

Two Weddings and a Funeral - (2012, dir. Kim-Jho Gwangsoo) South Korean rom-com telling the story of two young doctors, a lesbian woman and gay man, that marry so the lesbian can adopt a child with her lover and to appease the gay man’s parents. When the parents begin to get too involved with their life, their scheme and the protection afforded to them because of it threatens to fall apart. 

Yes or No - (2010, Sarasawadee Wongsompetch) The first Thai lesbian film with a butch/tomboy lead character! Pie is a respectable, conventional girl from an upper class family with conservative values. Kim is about as far from conventional as it gets, so much so that Pie initially requests a room change from her when she discovers they’ll be living together during college.

Jewish, LGBTQ, feminists NGOs condemn DC Dyke March for Jewish Star ban

LGBTQ, Jewish and feminist organizations called Wednesday night on the DC Dyke March to apologize for their ban on the Jewish Star of David and Israeli flags.   While there was originally no official announcement, after participants inquired, they discovered that they would not be able to bring Israeli flags or related national symbols to the march. Organizers later wrote on Facebook that, “participants [may] not bring pro-Israel paraphernalia.” While there was originally no official announcement, participants who inquired discovered that they would not be able to bring Israeli flags or related national symbols to the march.

“We ask the organizers to hold true to their mission of inclusivity as stated on their website: ‘The DC Dyke March exists to celebrate and center all Dykes,” a statement by Zioness Movement, A Wider Bridge, Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington and AJ Campbell - former Director of The Nice Jewish Girls and founder of The Jacobs Tent Project - said in response to the DC Dyke March’s decision. “Together we call on the DC Dyke March to apologize to the community and reverse course by allowing Dykes wishing to carry all Jewish and Israeli symbols to march as their full, authentic selves.” This controversy is not new. Two years ago, a similar incident occurred when the Chicago Dyke March’s organizers kicked out several people for carrying Jewish Pride flags.

However, the following year, Palestinian flags were seen waving at the Chicago march. Its been 12 years since the last Dyke march in DC, according to The Washington Post. The organizers said they brought the march back to life because it was badly needed, as LGBTQ services and legal protections were being erased, The Jerusalem Post reported.

AND ANOTHER THING

Remember back in 2017 when the first antisemitic Dʎke March incident happened, and multiple people claimed the only issue was that the Magen Davids in question were a “suspicious” shade of “zionist blue”? 

Some snippets from the link to refresh your memory: 

So two years ago, everyone was pushing back against Jewish bloggers for complaining because it was “just about the colour not about the star” (nevermind that the Israeli flag is blue because the colour blue holds significance in Judaism, not the other way around). 

BUT NOW - it’s not the colour blue, it’s the Magen David existing on a flag, full stop (”but don’t worry because if it’s not a flag then it’s fiiiiiiiiine”). 

See how the goalposts are changing? How long until all Jewish symbols are eliminated for being “suspiciously nationalist” one by one?

Don't leave folks with disabilities out during Pride

Pride events can remain incredibly inaccessible to people with various type of disablities. Here's how to make them more accessible to everyone.

Least favorite trope: years of emotional neglect/abuse swept under the rug by one scene where a parent admits they loved their child all along. And their broken, traumatized victim adult child accepts this half-assed non-apology (and the audience should too) because the writers think that’s closure.
