"Adam and Mary, two gay siblings, decide to bring their partners home for Christmas dinner. They really don't want to come out though, so they come up with a plan; they'll swap partners and pretend to be two straight couples. After a tragic first encounter with Grandma, who has a lot of opinions about children out of wedlock, foreigners and - bread, Steve can't take it anymore and threatens to leave. Adam has his way of persuading him, but that may involve the two of them, a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and a very high chance of Grandma walking in."

Wikipedia: "Amahl, a disabled boy who can walk only with a crutch, has a problem with telling tall tales. He is sitting outside playing his shepherd's pipe when his mother calls for him. After much persuasion, he enters the house but his mother does not believe him when he tells her there is an amazing star 'as big as a window' outside over their roof. Later that night, Amahl's mother weeps, praying that Amahl not become a beggar. After bedtime, there is a knock at the door and the mother tells Amahl to go see who it is. He is amazed when he sees three splendidly dressed kings. At first the mother does not believe Amahl, but when she goes to the door to see for herself, she is stunned."

The dark comedy tackles domestic abuse, toxic masculinity, misogyny and homophobia — all told by a predominantly Filipino-American cast and written/directed by a gay Filipino-American. : A black comedy by H.P. MendozaFilmmaker H.P. Mendoza was born in San Francisco on March 13, 1977. He has been dubbed "San Francisco’s queer cinema poet" by David Lamble of the San Francisco Bay Area Reporter.
Variety: "Christmas in San Francisco may not require winter wear, but there’s a certain amount of frost in the air as the Santos clan convenes for a rare family reunion. Gay youngest son Declan (Jon Norman Schneider) has flown in from Manhattan, with eldest Moe (Brian Rivera) from Philadelphia, both returning for for the first time in years... Middle brother Troy (Patrick Epino), a ne’er-do-well who terrorized his siblings growing up, now does the same with long-suffering wife Shelly (Theresa Navarro) and teenage daughter Mina (Amelie Anima). Because Troy is unemployed, they’re back living in the family home with matriarch Prisa (Josephine de Jesus)."

Eric and Sam's life is turned upside down when they take temporary custody of Scot Latour, whose drug addict mother, Julie, recently passed away from a drug overdose. Having only had Julie's influence in his life, Scot is a flamboyant adolescent, who wears make-up, a feather boa and his mother's charm bracelet, and who loves musicals and singing Christmas carols."

by gay British composer Benjamin Britten"You probably know Benjamin Britten [1913-1976] as one of the most influential British composers of the 20th century. Britten is famous for works including the opera Peter Grimes (1945), the War Requiem (1962), and the orchestral showpiece The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra (1945). Britten came to terms with his sexuality early on in his career and wrote many operas and song cycles for his partner and muse of nearly 40 years, Peter Pears [1910-1986], who was an interpreter and champion of the composer’s vocal works. Britten never spoke publicly about being gay—unsurprising, as homosexuality was against the law in the UK until 1967—but his sexuality didn’t stop his career from blossoming."

IMDb: "Born Christmas Day 1960, Zac Beaulieu is the fourth of five sons of Gervais and Laurianne Beaulieu. Zac feels somewhat disconnected to his brothers, all of whom are different from each other. They include the bookworm Christian who is the eldest, the dumb jock Antoine who is third, and the youngest Yvan. But Zac has the most contempt for his second eldest brother, the shiftless druggie Raymond. To his devout Catholic mother, Zac is her miracle son, both for being born the same day as Jesus Christ (a fact which Zac has always hated), and because a Tupperware-selling mystic once told her that he has the power to heal. Laurianne has always coddled Zac, the two who have a special if unspoken bond. But Zac wants more to please his father, who wants more than anything in his sons that they grow up to be man's men and not sissies. As Zac goes through his mid-teens to early twenties, Zac isn't sure if he can live up to the ideals of either his mother or especially his father."

Recruited by the Jewish Justice League’s Chief Bloomenbergensteinenthal (Peter Coyote) and working in tandem with the Chief’s femme fatale daughter Esther (Judy Greer) and the Kwanzaa Liberation Front’s Mohammed Ali Paula Abdul Rahim (Mario Van Peebles), he engages in a series of loosely tied-together genre parodies—the noir private investigator’s office, the Western bar fight, the undercover spy. ... [O]ne of the worst parts of the movie is the weird subtext that Damian is gay, which never has a point other than giving him a reason to be creepily attracted to Mordecai and have an equally creepy relationship with Tiny Tim [Sean Whalen]."

"I had a successful career as an actor for many years in NY and LA and was always pulling my costars aside backstage to help them with the business. Coaching was my side hustle to acting work but after a while, I realized that every time I got an audition I would get grumpy about it. Auditions that I used to get excited about were actually getting in the way of my coaching time and I hated canceling on clients. When I woke up to the fact that my calling had shifted, I stepped into coaching full-time and never looked back!"
"I grew up in a very white, very suburban small town in Ohio – truthfully in my high school there was one Black person, one Asian person, and one Jewish person and we all knew who they were. Five students committed suicide at my high school due to bullying… it was not a safe place. So I was firmly in the back of the closet! At Northwestern I was thrust into a diverse community where I could finally SAFELY say loud and proud 'I’m gay.'"

"When it's time for the holidays, many images come to mind: a Christmas tree, a stuffed turkey, beautifully wrapped presents, a winter wonderland, and Liberace! No one lived life quite like Wladziu Liberace and no one does the holidays better. Now, in these rare television shows from 1954, you can share in the holiday spirit with the performer whose renowned joy for living made him a legend. In The Thanksgiving Episode, Lee plays (appropriately and with flourishes) Turkey In The Straw, Shine On Harvest Moon, Bless This House, The Maiden's Wish, The Ritual Fire Dance, and Come On-A My House. The Christmas Episode features Liberace lending his special treatment to Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Jingle Bells, White Christmas, Silent Night, Sleigh Ride, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and O Holy Night."

Queerty.com: " Broadcast once in 1978, the special features the cast of Star Wars (yes, including Harrison Ford, gay icon Carrie Fisher, and CLICK for his NSFW videos & screencaps at Men.AZnude.com
Mark Hamill) trying to help Chewbacca get home to his Wookie family in time for 'Life Day,' the Star Wars analog of Christmas, in a musical adventure. The camp factor alone makes the Holiday Special worth watching at least once, as do the celebrity cameos, including appearances by gay icons Diahann Carroll as a pornographic hologram (yes, really), Bea Arthur as a cantina bartender, and Harvey Korman as an alien chef."
