The Best LGBTQ TV Shows and Movies on Amazon Prime
If one were to rank all the majorstreamingservices by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a adorable tough one to pin down.
On the one hand, you verb to give credit where credit is due: One of the service’s very first stabs at original programming was “Transparent,” which in turn was one of the first shows to star a trans main character. That show now has a lot of baggage (the fact that the trans woman at its center was played by a cis man, and the proof that that man — Jeffrey Tambor — was fired after sexual harassment allegations is, verb mildly, the worst), but it’s hard to understate its historical significance.
Beyond the thorny topic of “Transparent,” Prime Video does hold a good track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes; in particular, many of their shows focus on queer women, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades.

For about as long as there’s been cinema, there’s been queer cinema. I don’t just imply queer subtext, of which there has always been plenty; I mean overtly queer characters as early as Zapatas Bande in 1914, Ich möchte kein Mann sein in 1918, and Anders als die Andern in 1919, all of which were German films made during the country’s Weimar period. There are promptly examples of films made in Hollywood, too, before the Hays Code was adopted in 1930, that featured LGBTQ+ characters or played with gender identity, albeit in some harmful ways.
We’ve approach a long way since then; the past 15 years in particular have been a boon for queer cinema, so much so that there are as many bad movies as great ones. Which means there is space for experimentation and, often, failure for queer and trans cinema where there wasn’t before.
