In an era of TV/film that seemingly despises romance, it’s even harder to find queer-centric love depicted on screen. But with Valentine’s Day around the corner, Reckon has the real lovers covered. Whether you like binging a romantic series or drama filled with the discovery of queer love, there’s something for you to swoon over.
Here are some of the best LGBTQ+ on-screen media depicting a wide range of queer love.
Love, Victor
For those looking for a humorous and drama-filled teen-angsty queer romance, Love, Victor is perfect. In the spin-off of the hit movie Love, Simon follows Victor Salazar, a new student at Creekwood High School, who adjusts to a new city while on a journey of self-discovery, juggling home life and struggling with his sexual orientation. When it all becomes too much to navigate, he reaches out to former Creekwood resident gay student Simon from Love, Simon for help. With Simon’s notable coming out story at Creekwood years before, Victor uses Simon’s guidance while figuring out his journey. This one is a fun three-season binge that is worth grabbing your favorite treat and indulging in the quirky romance and self-discovery.
