5 Movies You Need to Watch During Pride
During Pride Month, we celebrate a diverse range of gender identities and sexualities, and advocate for their continued liberation. In honor of this time, it’s important to educate and participate! Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, or an ally, it is critical to remain informed, and immerse yourself in the expansive history of homophobia and transphobia in our nation, and beyond.
There’s no better way to get involved than hosting a movie party with your friends! Below, I’ve listed 5 informational and entertaining movies that you need to watch this Pride Month. 

1. Portrait of a Lady on Fire  (2019)
This French historical romantic drama relays the story of a dramatic affair between an aristocrat and a painter, who was commissioned to paint her portrait. This magnificent film won the Queer Pal Prize and was awarded Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.  Click here for the trailer
