For Valentine’s Day, Pride Month or any other time of the year, it’s always good to know where you can find great romantic movies that celebrate love, LGBTQ+ style.
That’s why we’ve rounded up and ranked the 20 best romantic films about LGBTQ characters ever—all of them acclaimed movies that beautifully illustrate the fact that love is love, no matter where (or with whom) you find it.
