The conditions are optimal for you to catch up on your queer cinema.
The few bars that have reopened are for the reckless and foolish, and let's be honest: there’s only so much dancing a person can do on Zoom. We’re stuck inside unless we’re marching for police reform. This year, the public events of LGBTQ Pride Month-much like sports, school, and life itself-are cancelled. And if you can bear the crowds, you leave a Pride festival with a draft-beer buzz, an application for a rainbow-flag credit card, and a paper fan with Chelsea Handler’s face on it. Your bank, cable company and sandwich shop rush to remind you of their support for the LGBTQ+ community. The gay neighborhood thumps with house music.
Under normal circumstances, June busts out all over with Pride Month parties and parades. The good news: this year you have time for some movies.
