"It's time we had queer media do X!"
Babe, I promise you it already exists. Queer media is already doing that. It came out this year. It came out 20 years ago. The only reason you're not aware of it is that queer media always has been mostly indie and people don't watch enough weird indie stuff.
If you only watch queer media made to appeal to a broadly average viewer, of course you're not going to see comedic gay sex, or drag club workplace comedy, or trans men grappling with their interpersonal relationships changing, or romcoms that reject amatanormativity, or 70+ year old lesbian road trips, or Muslim gay coming of age stories, or sham marriage comedies. But these are all in real films and shows.
What's not happening is average straight people paying attention to these wonderful pieces of media, the best films and shows you've ever seen, because they were not made for straight people. They don't talk to straight people, they don't let straight people in on the community jokes and commentary, and they deliberately do things to make straight people uncomfortable. They're more passionate and more messy.
And what you'll almost always get is found family. So if you love that trope there is an entire genre waiting for you to discover.
Off the top of my head that I've watched this year:
Comedic gay sex: Bros (2022), Spoiler Alert (2022), Smiley (2022).
Drag club workplace comedy: Smiley (2022).
Trans men grappling with their interpersonal relationships changing: Rūrangi (2020), Romeos (2011).
Romcoms that reject amatanormativity: Bros (2022), Chutney Popcorn (1999), Badhai Do (2022).
70+ year old lesbian road trips: Cloudburst (2011).
Muslim gay coming of age stories: Naz & Maalik (2016).
Sham marriage comedies: Badhai Do (2022).
