Every New LGBTQ+ Movie Out in 2022 & How You Can Watch Them

Here are the newest LGBTQ+ movies you can watch now, or will be able to soon!

LGBTQ+ films aren't easy to come by! Despite the progress we've made with representation over the years, it can still be difficult to find new queer movies to watch.

Over the course of 2022, we'll keep you updated on every new LGBTQ+ film that comes out with this list. While there are more new movies with LGBTQ+ characters (like Scream and Death of the Nile), this list compiles films where a central character is openly LGBTQ+ and it is addressed in the narrative. 

The list isn't long, and it really puts into perspective how few queer stories actually exist in cinema.

We'll update this list with new films as they come along! Happy streaming!

A Spy Movie

Stephanie Koenig, Brian Jordan Alvarez, and Brian Jordan Alvarez star in the film as the maniacal evil-doer Evelina, and the two spies desperate to stop her, Jack Johnson and Bushilla Strasshola. Evelina heads the World's Worst Crime Syndicate who has come up with a Thanos-ian plan to spread a global pandemic while withholding a vaccine. Jack and Bushilla, two agents from opposite ends of the tracks, must join their chaotic forces together to save the world.

Three Months
