LGBT Documentaries

An (almost) fully comprehensive list of LGBT documentaries on letterboxd - including films about LGBT people, culture, movements, and experiences.

Because this is meant to (for the most part) be a celebratory list, I have chosen not to include any documentaries about LGBT people who have been found guilty of horrific crimes such as rape/murder/molestation. It also attempts to disclude documentaries with unchallenged transphobia, although that is harder to gauge based solely on a poster/description.

Unlike my other lists on similar topics, I have not watched everything listed here. Because of this, the films are in order based on their release date rather than any personal feelings about quality. Suggestions are welcome and wanted!
