queer and trans (grand)parents

films depicting queer/trans people who are (grand)parents in any sense of the word, including found family, drag houses, ENM relationships and other understandings outside a nuclear family model (would like to find some films exploring platonic co-parenting actually)

many of these are either about people becoming parents/ raising children or being closeted/coming out later in life with teenage/grown children - that doesn't need to be the focus tho, them being queer/trans (grand)parents could be incidental to the plot. very much a WIP!

CN: includes clichéd and problematic portrayals of queerness/transness

TV:
Sugar Rush (2005) S1
Pose (2018)
