Since the birth of cinema, film adaptations of classic novels and plays have thrived. The first “Les Misérables” film adaptation was released in 1909, and Shakespearean plays have been the source of inspiration for hundreds of filmmakers and artists across history.

With the success of shows like “Heartstopper” and “Our Flag Means Death” and movies like “Moonlight” and “Call Me by Your Name”, it’s safe to say that LGBTQ representation in media has never been better. There is still a long way to go toward total inclusivity; for example, stories that don’t revolve around white cis-gendered men are often overlooked. Still, progress has been made.
