Queer-Centric TV/Movie Suggestions?

Who else is excited about Season 2 of Sense8 coming out (partly) in December? I'm prepared for us to pretty much binge-watch it as soon as the rest comes out in 2017, but that's soooo far away. It would be nice to have something to tide us over!
What are your favorite queer-centric (preferably "-friendly," too!) TV shows or movies? Anything you think is a must-watch? It'd be nice to have some things to veg out to during the heat waves of Summer! (Or, y'know, cold snaps of Winter. Lookin' at you, Southern Hemisphere. ❤)




"But I'm a Cheerleader" is an excellent film about kids being sent off to a gay conversion camp - sort of black comedy meets teen romance. Really funny, and stars a lot of faces that are well known in the gay entertainment world (RuPaul, Natasha Lyonne, Mink Stole, and so on).
If you're lookin' for LGBT movies, there's an absolutely amazing one called "Pride" about an LGBT group raising money for the striking minors, and acceptance and the like, and it's an absolutely awesome movie, with a decent cast too. I think it might be on netflix, but I'm probably wrong there.
There's also Billy Elliot, which is set in a similar time, and isn't gay i strictly i don't think, but has themes of LGBT in there. I think. Been a while since i watched that one. Good movie though
and while i'm on a roll, you could technically throw in the original Alien in there, as at least one of the crew members is trans gal, Joan Lambert. So I mean, it's a movie with an LGBT character in it. ( Source : http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Joan_Lambert )
that's all that's comin' from the top of my head ^^
Oh my gosh I totally forgot Sense8 was starting up again soon!
I tend to do this like, intentional amnesia thing after a series I like a lot finishes a season and won't be back on for a long time. And then I get super surprised and excited when someone reminds me that it exists again. \o/
My favorites are But I'm a Cheerleader, Leading Ladies, Two Girls in Love, Rent, and The Kids are Alright. What I really want though is a movie centered around some Non-binary people or a movie about a transgender person that doesn't end in tragedy and/or death. I understand there's a few happier ones about MtF transgender people, but there's next to nothing for non-binary and FtM transgender people.
