There are countless movies and TV shows available to stream on Amazon Prime and the streaming service also has a decent amount of movies with LGBTQ+ characters and relationships as the central focus of the movie.

Most of the LGBTQ+ movies are more recent like Uncle Frank which is an Amazon original movie released in 2020 and the well-known 2014 movie Pride, but there are some older movies as well worth checking out like But I’m a Cheerleader released in 2000. Prime is definitely the place to celebrate Pride this month.

10 Pride (2014)

Pride is based on the real-life story of a group of Londoner LGBTQ+ activists who decide to support the striking miners in Wales in 1984.

The movie delves into the heartfelt story as the completely different groups bond over being targeted by the Margaret Thatcher administration and learn to connect on a deeper human level and see more similarities than differences. It’s is told through the lens of the young Joe (1917’s George MacKay) as he reckons with his own sexuality while joining the activists.

9 Carol (2015)

Carol, based on the novel of the same name, tells the story of two women (Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett) who meet in New York in the 1950s and have an instant palpable connection.

8 Halston (2019)

Before Netflix’s Halston was released based on the true story of Roy Halston, Amazon Prime released an original documentary based on the legendary designer’s life.

7 The Miseducation Of Cameron Post (2018)

Cameron bonds with the other residents at the camp as they all go along with the horrific “therapy” just waiting to be released.

6 Uncle Frank (2020)

Uncle Frank is a Prime original movie about gay literature professor Frank Bledsoe (Paul Bettany) who goes on a road trip with his young niece Beth (Sophia Lillis). Beth feels closest to her uncle as he’s more thoughtful and articulate than the rest of their family, and she’s excited to be going to college in New York where he’s a professor.

Frank decides to travel home for his father’s funeral as the movie shows flashbacks of the difficult relationship he had with his father after he discovered Frank with another boy when he was younger. The movie reckons with Frank’s difficulties with other people not accepting his sexuality in the 1970s setting.

5 Saving Face (2005)

Megan meets Graham (Clea DuVall) who is proud of being a lesbian, and while Megan is still confused, she starts to have feelings for Graham in this high school teen rom-com.

2 Mambo Italiano (2003)

Mambo Italianino is a fun, enjoyable, and simple rom-com that follows Angelo Barberini (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s Luke Kirby) as he decides to move out of his tight-knit Italian family and community to live on his own.
