Best gay scenes

The representation of LGBTQ+ characters and storylines has been an important aspect of this transformation. And we loved seeing the iconic West Boulevard. Fabulous, camp, and above all, brave! Oh boy, do these Priscilla queens have balls…

When a Sydney based drag queen, named Mitzi Del Bra (played by Hugo Weaving), accepts a gig to perform in central Australia, she decides to bring along her best friends, fellow performer Felicia Jollygoodfellow (Guy Pearce), and mother figure Bernadette Bassenger (Terence Stamp), for the journey.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

The characters in this movie are how we picture ourselves whilst traveling. Not only is it charming and funny, but it will warm the cockles of even the coldest of hearts. 

When a group of London-based queer activists hear about the miner strikes in South Wales, they are compelled to lend a helping hand.

One standout moment? It’s fair to say that this movie sparked a public discussion on gay rights in India. Plus, there are some dining out scenes that’ll give even the pickiest of eaters a hankering for delectable French cuisine.

This is the ideal flick for Francophiles everywhere. 

10. From family outings in the parks to tête-à-têtes on high rise rooftops, with the hustle and bustle echoing in the background, ‘Fire’ sprinkles a piece of New Delhi magic into each scene.  

Before you know it, you’ll be looking up trips to see the gay side of India as well!

But until then, you’ll be enthralled by footage of the Canadian Rockies (the filming location), with their blue mountains, gurgling waterfalls, and rolling green fields.

It was a story that brought to life so many people’s fantasies. So, seeing it come to life on the big screen was a real treat for us. 

This is a follow up to the smash hit film, ‘Another Gay Movie’, where a group of gay friends vowed to lose their aɳal virgiɳity before Labor Day. In this sequel, the friends compete in a contest to see who will have the most partners over a weekend. 

With a cameo from celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton; homages to the ‘Wizard of Oz’; and Seא dreams with a merman (honestly, who thought of all this???), this film is the definition of campness gone rogue.

There is nothing like this film to inspire you to take a city break and escape to the magic of rural Wales.

17. It’ll make you want to hop aboard a camper van with a total stranger and visit all 50 States. Gay people loved it for a scene that was so darn, um, peachy… And then there were us, who were in awe over the Italian backdrop in each scene. 

In case you didn’t know, ‘Call Me by Your Name’ is about a 17-year-old boy named Ellio, who falls for a 24-year-old American student, who comes to help Ellio’s dad with academic paperwork.

For a show about accepting yourself, this was definitely not on theme. The film’s portrayal of a gay relationship was revolutionary, with the focus being on the dynamic of Po-Wing and Fai as individuals, rather than them as a gay couple. 

In the movie, we move from the nightclubs of Buenos Aires to the thoroughfares of Hong Kong, to the naturalistic marvels of Iguazu Falls, with the film perfectly capturing the magic of each location.

The chemistry between Emma and Nico builds slowly, and when they finally get together, the scene is raw, sexy, and emotionally layered. Together, they head off on a road trip to the small town of Mahabaleshwar, where things get a little bit… intimate. 

The movie covers a lot of themes, from consent, to body image, and finding yourself.

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild (2008)

This is one of those “so bad, it’s good” type-films!

Most people love it for its melodramatic camp and outrageous scenes. Yes, the characters deal with bigoted people, but their antagonists are characterized as pantomime villains rather than being morally superior. 

The fact it takes place in gay Miami is the icing on the cake – as we get a good look into the fabulous Floridian nightlife, and all its outrageous campness.

When Papi uplifts a sad and emotional Angel.
