Gayest movies that are&#;nt actually about creature gay
Classic movies had to be very careful about any suggestion of other than vanilla sexuality, so a lot of it is in the subtext. I remember watching WORDS AND Tune () when I was really youthful. This is the bio-pic about Rogers and Hart, but it never said anything about Lorenz Hart being male lover. I just recollect in the feature that he seemed to be obsessed with shoes--in an ominous manner that hinted at some dark secret about the man. That told me that society looks down on men who show any interest in shoes--so I&#;ve always been cautious when I move by a shoe store, not to exhibit any excitement, for fear of becoming a social pariah.
There&#;s also the weird bloke on man sexuality in SPARTACUS (). And in Douglas Sirk movies, starring Rock Hudson, they hinted at Rock&#;s sexuality in an allegorical way. Rock&#;s character invariably finds the companionship of an older gal in the Sirk movies--a maternal protector who keeps his secrets.

The queer kids of the future call for their wholesome entertainment, too.

A gay fantasia on Elton themes. An Elton John biopic was never going to be understated, but this glittering jukebox musical goes way over the top and then keeps going. It might be an overcorrection from the straight-washing of the previous year's Bohemian Rhapsody, but when it's this much fun, it's best not to overthink it.
