one of my 2026 goals has been to watch more queer media that is considered classic and/or historically relevant

so, what we've accomplished thus far:

The Boy Foretold by the Stars (2020) considered the first mainstream BL film for the Philippines Aikane (2023) Anders als die Andern (1919) first sympathetic portrayal of gay men in film Yes or No (2010) considered the first Thai lesbian movie The Watermelon Woman (1996) first known feature length film to be directed by a Black lesbian Tokyo Godfathers (2003) I Can't Think Straight (2008) To Wong Foo,Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

TBW:

The Handmaiden Rafiki The Orator Dakan Breaking Fast Shinjuku Boys Looking for Jiro Onuma Lesbian Avengers Eat Fire Too Naz & Maalik

open to suggestions for others!

Watch 'Aikāne,' An Animated Film Inspired By Queer Native Hawaiian Love

The short film follows two queer lovers — a warrior and his shape-shifting advisor — as they battle colonial evil.

This got me right in the feels on so many levels.

Gender & Sexualities in the Movement for Aloha no ka ʻĀina

Movement for Aloha no ka ʻĀina (MANA) is a movement-building organization, established to achieve independence and social justice through direct action, political education, economic development, international diplomacy, and public advocacy, with a cultural and spiritual foundation.

MANA follows in the history of Aloha ‘Āina in Hawaiʻi, and in the tradition of peoples throughout the world who struggle for liberation, freedom, and justice. MANA values kūʻē (resistance); kūkulu (creating alternatives); people power; collectivity; community; honesty and integrity; and fundamental human dignity. MANA believes that an Aloha ʻĀina must be “guided by great feelings of love.”

MANA's Platform of Unity focuses on independence, land, demilitarization, health, culture, popular education, movement building, economic independence, food sovereignty, diversity & inclusion, ho'omana, and gender and sexualities.
