Best christmas movies gay
Last week, Queerty posted an article proclaiming, “The Hallmark Channel is gayer than ever this year!” This is followed by a massive list of exactly THREE movies that they consider queer. The first one, Catch Me If You Claus stars Luke Macfarlane in his 16th feature for the network. Yes, the Bros co-star is gay in real life, but the ethics in the film is not. Kudos to him for continuing to be cast in unbent roles, but… do we then count this as a homosexual film?
The second movie on their list, Christmas on Cherry Lane is an ensemble piece that includes a gay couple. Jonathan Bennett, Hallmark’s go-to gay star for gay roles plays contrary Vincent Rodriguez III. It airs December 9th.
The third film, Friends and Family Christmas centers on lesbian friends (Humberly Gonzalez & Ali Liebert) who must pose as a couple for the holidays… and you’ll never predict what happens! This one premieres on December 17th.

There are many things to love about the holiday season (if you happen to be a Christmas lover like myself), and one of them is the seemingly endless supply of Christmas movies. There are the classics, like It’s A Wonderful Experience and White Christmas, but there’s also the yearly deluge of cheesy Netflix and Hallmark movies that all acquire essentially the matching plot. Unfortunately for us, very limited of these offerings involve lesbians in any way.
