While mainstream rom-coms and dramedies often feature dreamy, fairy tale-esque boy-meets-girl narratives, even the sexiest LGBT movies out there tend to avoid that brand of romance or sexuality. 'Sexiness' is often experimental or abstract-there isn't one, neat formula for LGBTIA+ desire, and that inherent complication makes for diverse modes of storytelling that might seem shapeless or overly graphic. Unlike the more mainstream film industry, queer cinema has a history of exploring an endless number of identities while navigating oppression. I'll admit that I was a little apprehensive about ranking moments of queer sexiness on the screen.
