Mitch Downe From "Paranorman" Is Awesome Gay Representation
Gay representation is out there, but to portray a character who's gay as a big, happy brute is a rare treat.

Winner of 9 GAYVN Awards (2002's most-winning film), White Trash is one of the year's funniest, hottest, sleaziest, rudest, and most out-and-out most enjoyable. In all senses of the word. The opening is a sure-fire nominee for Best Oral Scene of the year. In it, we are treated to the gloriously crotch-bulging sight of cousin Luther (Trent Cougar) bitch-slapping, spitting on and literally gagging his cockpig nephew Bret Wolfe. And then hocking a mouthful of beer on him. We ain't got no shame here: we've watched it twice already. Rod Barry is a hoot as a "fuckin' cousin," and Sharon Kane's cameo as a trashy neighbor is a scream. Break out the mac-n-cheese: Tony Alizzi's in the house!

In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
