GLAAD’s latest annual report of film statistics revealed only 23 out of 125 films released by the major studios in 2016 had LGBTQ characters. Statistics show dismal numbers for LGBTQ representation in film. However, Racster continued that the ‘power of stories’ can change that narrative. ‘These are challenging times for many and reports of violence against LGBTQ citizens are on the rise,’ said Christopher Racster, executive director of Outfest. Over the next few weeks, all of these movies will be available to Prime members at no additional cost. They obtained the streaming rights to 64 movies from various Outfest LGBTQ film festivals.
Thanks to Amazon Prime Video, soon there will be plenty more to indulge in and watch on repeat.Ĭoming off the bad PR with their ‘straight pride’ pin, the company is back in good graces with this recent move. It is a truth universally acknowledged… that we are always on the hunt for more LGBTQ movies.
