Summary: Love us as we are See us and we're holy In this shall we shall ever be Wholly ourselves. A continuation of my Screened Out series on the history of queer representation on film, focusing on genderbending films of the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. ➤ third in a series of vids Tafadhali made about depictions of queerness in hollywood; I recced the other two last fall, about pre-code and full-code eras ➤ this one is about the 90's and early 2000's ➤ which are all movies that came out within my lifetime so watching this hits in a different way than the other two vids! I definitely got emotional watching this vid ➤ the vid is celebrating the drag queens and gnc characters, and it's so perfectly put together, what a good vid <3 ➤ 3:23 in length. audio is song only, no added sounds/dialogue. no subtitles.

Summary: <blockquote>Alone in our secret Together we sigh For one smiling day to be free A continuation of my Screened Out series on the history of queer representation in Hollywood, focusing on desire, longing, and repression in 1950s and early 1960s dramas.</blockquote> ➤ a follow-up to the pre-code vid I just recced, this one is about queer themes in 1950's-60's hollywood ➤ very different vibes, and the contrast says a lot when you watch the two back to back ➤ this one does really good understated yearning and unspoken secrets.

Summary: <blockquote>Masculine Women, Feminine Men, which is the rooster which is the hen? It's hard to tell 'em apart today.
