Homosexuality in the cinema has been portrayed in very different ways depending on the era, the country, or the personal view of the director. It has been reflected in comedies, experimental, horror, historical, police, social, biographical or series B movies.

Throughout the history of cinema there has been considerable evolution in the way of approaching this subject. In the great productions of Hollywood, from its beginnings until practically the decade of 1980, the Homosexuals were portrayed with scorn and in stereotyped way or in roles of ruthless killers or disturbed suicides. Special mention would be independent films or productions made in other places such as Europe.

This situation gradually changed to the present day in which the big film producers produce films directed almost exclusively to the LGBT public, showing more realistic characters and scenarios, exhibited in commercial theaters or in the numerous festivals of this theme that are celebrated all over the world. world. Many of these current films show how difficult it is to "come out of the closet" and project to the viewer the reality in which Homosexuals meet. However, that change had already occurred in European cinema before.

A large number of these films have focused on male homosexuality and bisexuality, while female films and transsexuality have been addressed less frequently.
