Queerly Beloved

With many of us stuck in our houses or at least working very reduced hours for a good chunk of time, I thought now would be a great opportunity to round up some media recommendations featuring queer/LGBTQIAP+ characters! You can reply to this post with the titles of books, movies, TV shows, video games, podcasts, fanfics, webcomics, or whatever else you can think of that folx might enjoy. If you've read/watched/played/listened to/etc something that someone else recs, you can chime in with your own reviews. Suggesting authors or creators in general are also good.

Optional template:

Title:
Author/Creator/Distributor:
Media type:
Summary:
Identities represented:
Content Warnings:
Where you can find/get the thing:

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author/Creator/Distributor:</b> <b>Media type:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Identities represented:</b> <b>Content Warnings:</b> <b>Where you can find/get the thing:</b>

amadi has a tutorial for how to make spoiler-blocking warning tags here, if you want to use it; I've got the relevant code available for copy-pasting below:

<span title="This is a warning that is also a spoiler. Highlight to read." style="color:#666;background-color:#666;">Warning text goes here.</span>

All the fields in the template are completely optional, so use as many or as few as you like, or even skip the template altogether and throw together something yourself. I'm looking forward to finding all sorts of new titles to explore!

Phew, okay! I've got our community tags up. Or, well, as many as I can think of, at any rate. I'm sure there's a bunch I missed, and fandom tags in particular I'll have to add as we go.

Anyone who wants to is welcome to look over the tag list and request that I add something to it, especially if it's something I missed. This was just everything I could come up with off the top of my head, and while it covers a lot of stuff, I know I'm not perfect and didn't think of everything or everyone. Please also let me know if you spot any spelling mistakes or typos; I'm still not entirely used to the keyboard on my new laptop, which will account for some slipups, but definitely not all of them.

Let's see here, what else. Oh! CW is short for Content Warning, and warns for types of content that people might not want to deal with or, in the case of NSFW (literally: Not Safe For Work), is the type of thing they might get in trouble for having a record of on a work computer. Media is for reviews and shoutouts about various forms of media that have representation of us, good and bad. Everything else should be fairly self-explanatory, I think.

Since Dreamwidth has a tag limit of 1000 for free accounts (1500 for paid, 2000 for premium paid), there may come a time when I have to combine some lesser-used tags in order to preserve some more-used tags. We've still got close to 900 tags to go before reaching the free account limit, though, so I'm pretty sure we'll be okay for a while.

Thanks to everyone who's joined so far, and if you have any feedback, I would be very interested in it!

Edit: It looks like I have tags hidden somehow at the moment? Lemme go take a look around, see how I need to fix that.

Edit 2: Apparently all unused tags were marked as "private" in the tag management thing. There's probably a better way to fix that, but it's late and I'm tired, so my current workaround is: Literally tag this post with every single tag available. (For the record, I tried doing that and then untagging everything, but the tags went right back to being private, so that shortcut is a no-go.)
