An old axiom holds that all politics is local. Apparently the same is true for movies.
Shane Co.–the fabled jeweler who provides the diamonds & gold for hundreds of same-sex weddings–celebrated pride season by delving into their Google Trends to compile some of the most popular LGBTQ movies, broken down by state. The results may surprise.
Who’d have thought that an underground film like The Watermelon Woman would prove the most popular in Tennessee? It delighted us to learn that the awesome comedy Tangerine transfixed the Googlers of Arizona. Or that Larry Kramer‘s The Normal Heart would transfix conservative Alabama?
Have a look at the top searched films, and feel free to take a few as suggested viewing. You really can’t go wrong with any of these jewels and gems!

The Australian film “The Sum of Us” is awesome.
It’s decades old and stars a guy named Russell Crowe. Don’t know if his career went anywhere
Josh447
Your kidding right? Russell Crowe is an academy award winning (2002 Gladiator) world famous actor. He was just in a movie last year with Nicole Kidman called Boy Erased, about a Mormon gay kid battling his preacher father Russell Crowe. Research Google when in doubt is always my motto.

@Josh – lighten up. Jim was obviously making a joke.

I’m surprised Latter Days isn’t on there. In Utah, of course, but anywhere really. I loved Latter Days!
Josh447
Excellent point! You know every gay boy in Utah watched Latter Days more than once. I’ve watched it 3 times and actually went to the premier in LA. One of the absolute best gay movies ever.

I thought the same thing, matter of fact that is just what I came into check to see if it was what Utah watched.

“Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss” was a lot of fun

High Art is the most searched on in Ga??? A decades old film starring Ally Sheedy? I have to say I’m shocked.
