The year 2021 turned out to be amazing in terms of premiere of queer movies, but, as always, we hope that next year will be even better.
This year we saw such excellent performances by queer artists as – Lady Gaga in House of Gucci and Kristen Stewart in the movie Spencer. Other notable movies are: Benedetta, Flee, Ride or Die, My Name is Pauli Murray and the trilogy of Fear Street. More is coming in the year 2022.
Here are 11 queer films that will be released next year:
1. Bros
Billy Eichner stars in the romantic comedy Bros along with LGBTQ+ actors: Bowen Yang, Guillermo Díaz and Luke Macfarlane. In the story Eichner is interested in Luke. The film, which was named to be the first gay romantic comedy, has already finished shooting and will be released in cinemas on August 22, 2022.
2. Dope Queens
This indie romantic thriller, set in San Francisco, the world’s first legally recognized transgender area, features Alexandra Gray and Trace Lysette.
