Gay films that are causing a sensation.

The gay film Red, White & Royal Blue , adapted from the bestselling book of the same name by author Casey McQuiston (published in 2019), tells the sweet and humorous love story between the son of the US president and the British prince , starring Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine.

This gay-themed film set in the "harem" received a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, earning a "fresh" certification, and garnered a 94% audience approval rating. The film received rave reviews from publications such as the New York Post , Mashable , Looper.com, and CNN .

Matthew Lopez's film Red, White & Royal Blue has been praised for "subtly and delicately portraying love transcending political calculations."

On the morning of August 24th, Variety magazine published an article about three films: Red, White & Royal Blue , Heartstopper , and Bottoms , noting that these three works, in August, had once again "stirred up" film content about the LGBTQ+ community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender...).

This article considers Red, White & Royal Blue and season 2 of Heartstopper to be two of the most outstanding British films about gay love. Red, White & Royal Blue boldly explores the lives of gay men; Heartstopper and Bottoms (female-led films) tell the stories of love and sex among teenagers.

The high school romance series Heartstopper is highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes.

However, Bottoms (rated 98% on Rotten Tomatoes) has a different "flavor" from the other two gay films because it blends very real emotions from the filmmakers themselves, as they incorporate memories of love from the 1980s and 1990s.

While Red, White & Royal Blue and Heartstopper weren't online "blockbusters" upon release, they were still among the top 10 most-watched films on various streaming platforms (with Red, White & Royal Blue being one of the three most-watched romantic films in Amazon Prime history).

"My Story of Becoming Family with a Devil" is a prominent Asian gay film recently.

Recently, upon its release on Netflix, the Taiwanese gay film "My Ghost and I Became Family," directed by Cheng Wei-Hao and starring Hsu Kwong-Han and Lin Pak-Hung, also garnered significant viewership. Based on the tradition of ghost marriage, the film tells the story of two men, one living and one dead, who unexpectedly marry each other, subtly incorporating various social issues. "My Ghost and I Became Family ," a non-English language film, is among the top 10 most-watched online films on Netflix with 3.4 million hours of viewing (updated August 16th). The film also ranked in the top 10 most-watched films in other Asian countries and territories, not just Taiwan.

This September, season 4 of the British coming-of-age series Sex Education will premiere on Netflix, featuring the former high school students now grown up, with very different lives and experiences in love – both heterosexual and homosexual. The series boasts a star-studded cast including Asa Butterfield, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee-Lou Wood, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, and others.
