First Gay Film/Show You Ever Watched?

I think my first lgbt film was The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

 

Hmm probably Threesome by Andrew Flemming... I went to see it ummm... probably 10 times at least.

Dragged my best friend to half of those probably. No wonder she didn't surprise when I told her I am gay.

 

The L Word, I guess. I was going through the questioning phase at the time and I'd go to various forums and people would mention it, so I ended up watching it.

 

Brokeback Mountain I think it was.

 

First show was Six Feet Under in my teens, which I watched clandestinely with my brother, petrified that my parents would come in during a gay scene... although there was a gay couple in a soap I watched at the time as well, which was perhaps earlier... but I only occasionly watched that one.

First movie was probably Imagine Me and You.

Brothers and Sisters was the show that I watched when I started questioning, so Saul's storyline hit a little too close to home.

 

Loving Annabel. It was crap.

 

The Laramie Project. A TV movie adaptation of the play, inspired by what happened in Laramie, WY after the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard.

 

I think it was Billy Elliot.
And my heart was RACING when they kissed...
Only later in life I understood what was going on in there ^^

*btw its not a "gay" movie but there were gay hints in there

 

Blue is the warmest color

I'm sure this was the first one.

 

Brokeback Mountain. I saw it when I was 17.

I didn't really like it that much. I felt that they didn't show enough love between Jack and Ennis. It felt more like they had a sexual addiction to each other rather than any feelings based on their personalities. I mean, obviously they felt something for each other but it felt like their entire relationship was just built on the fact that they were both gay and didn't have anyone else to share that experience with.

The ending was also depressing and just made me want to not be gay even more since the movie kinda gave the impression that life is crappy for gay people.

It is a very well directed and acted movie (RIP Heath Ledger) but I certainly don't hail it as one of the greatest love stories of all time. In fact, its not so much a love story as it is a film about the consequences of a homophobic society.

 

I think it was Xena, Buffy or Greys Anatomy. I'm realy not sure

 

It was a TV movie called "Consenting Adult", with Marlo Thomas and Martin Sheen playing the parents of a high school boy who was realizing he was gay. I was in my early 20's when it first showed and made me do a lot of thinking about coming out, since I already knew I was attracted to guys. And the lead character seemed like a very average kid, not at all flamboyantly gay, so it made me feel like coming out might actually be a "safe" thing to do after all. But then a few months later, a bunch of messed-up family events started happening (my sister's unexpected pregnancy and rushed marriage, a move, and the unexpected deaths of a number of key people in my life), and the closet felt like the only safe place in my existence at the time.

 

My first was But I'm A Cheerleader. At the time it was the only LGBT movie available at the rental store. I was thankful that the title and dvd cover didn't "look gay." Then I discovered The L Word.

 

I think probably Making Love. Oh and the Stephen Carrington plotline on Dynasty. Ahh... the 80s.:lol:

 

The Bird Cage! Still one of my favorite movies!

 

Queer as Folk love love that show. Still watch it on netflix.

 

My first LGBT show was Will & Grace.

My first LGBT film was a christmas movie called Make The Yuletide Gay.

 

Glee I fell in love with that show

Then I found will and grace

 

Would movies like "Mulan" and "The Emperor's New Groove" count? If so, then I was between six and eight years old.

Seriously, though, it might be a tie: "The Birdcage" and "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything! Julie Newmar". As for shows...can I count "The Nanny" on this? It didn't have gay people that I remember, but Fran was awesome. If it's invalid, then Will and Grace, though I only saw a few chapters.
