MUST WATCH: We Don’t Live Here Anymore
Currently available on MyFilmhouse, We Don’t Live Here Anymore tells the story of two mothers and how they react to a scandal in their kid’s High School. The scandal will not only redefine the fate of the two teenage boys involved, but would shake the foundations of the people they love and the town they live in.
Tales of the City
Tales of the City is a mini series on Netflix that is highly recommend. It is based on the books by Armistead Maupin and it follows Mary Ann Singleton as she returns to San Francisco after a long absence and reunites with the community of characters at 28 Barbary Lane. It tackles many issues in the LGBT community from sex to relationships and trans equality.

The show that aired on Logo dealt with everything from safe sex to roles in relationships and internalised homophobia. Logo has put the first and second season on YouTube so if you haven’t seen it, now is the time to.
The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
Marsha P. Johnson is an LGBT icon who was one of the prominent figures of the Stonewall riots.
