Any recs for fun queer films that don’t end in tragedy? Things like The Birdcage, To Wong Foo, etc. I know they’re out there but need some help finding them, could be comedies, dramas, docs, just anything where the characters all live to see the end of the movie!

It's been a few years since I watched this film but I don't recall it having a tragic ending. Pretty funny, actually.

If your library has access to Kanopy, you can find it there.

“More people need to watch this movie! 90’s queer romantic comedy written/directed/starring Cheryl Dunye. She is so cool and hot and her wardrobe is so unapologetically for the female gaze. Major crush on Cheryl Dunye.”
