The Best Netflix Movies to Help You Learn About & Celebrate the LGBTQ+ Community

Learning is a lifelong process that doesn't end when you receive your diploma. And it's more important than ever to learn about communities of which you may not be a member. For example, it's important for straight-identifying people to learn about the history and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community so they can be better allies and advocates. Thankfully, there are several resources to help in your education process, from books about the LGBTQ+ community to LGBTQ+ movies on Netflix.

The streaming service boosts touching dramas about love and heartbreak, documentaries about transgender people's experiences, a movie about the intersection of feminism and gay rights, and so much more. There are even films that focus on the experiences of Black LGBTQ+ community members, which is especially timely in 2020 given the current Black Lives Matter revolution. Any of the Netflix's offerings will help you learn about and celebrate the LGTBQ+ community. And the films are all just as entertaining as they are educational and impactful.

Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, are an ally, or are trying to educate yourself, watching these films will expand your appreciation for this beautiful community.
