As the days start to get cooler and darker, I find myself slowly morphing into a couch potato again. I decided to put together a list of LGBTQ films on Netflix that I've been meaning to watch, or rewatch, in some cases. I figured I would share it incase there are other slowly forming couch potatoes out there. Get cozy, enjoy and please feel free to share your favourite queer movies in the comments below.
