Celebrate Gay Pride Month with a Parade of Sundance-supported LGBT films
Most people who identify as LGBT can vividly recall the first time they identified with a character on screen. It lets us know that we’re not alone, and in a way, it validates us or even changes how we think about ourselves. And long before every Hollywood romantic comedy had a snarky gay best friend (I happen to love Rupert Everett’s character in My Best Friend’s Wedding, by the way), independent films were home to some of the first fully dimensional LGBT characters and stories. That legacy continues today, with films like Weekend, Pariah and Keep the Lights On continuing to break boundaries and tell stories in new ways.
We’ve listed below a few of our favorite tales of same-sex love and transgender characters. Even better, all were supported by Sundance Institute or our Sundance Film Festival. We’re very proud to have played a part in helping these stories. Take a look and let us know what films you’ll be watching to celebrate Gay Pride Month.

I use Netflix on my Roku also, and had not checked yet this month.
