If the week after Labor Day has you feeling bluesy that summer has come and gone, may we remind you that autumn is easily a top four season?

We here at Queerty are big fans of fall, and it’s easy to see why: There’s so much queer and queer-adjacent entertainment just around the corner. Not only is “Gay Christmas” (a.k.a. Halloween) fast approaching, but we’re in also in the throes of fall film festival season, meaning there are plenty of awards-ready features heading your way soon.

In order to help you keep track of it all,  we’ve assembled a guide to the biggest film and television releases of the next few months. These are the must-see titles with notable queer characters and stories both in front of and behind the camera, slated to release in September, October, and November.

So, clear some space on your calendar this fall, because it’s going to be a very gay couple of months!

How about we take this to the next level?

Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
