Celebrating Pride on screen: What movies and TV shows should you watch this Pride?
The rights of the LGBTQ+ community have come a long way since Pride first began in 1970, commemorating the Stonewall Riots. But while progress has been made, the journey toward full equality and acceptance is far from over, which is why Pride remains so important today. There are many ways to support and uplift the voices of members of the community, and one of those ways is to engage in media that highlights their experiences. Ahead of Saturday's Pride Parade in Dublin, here are some TV shows and movies you can watch that celebrate LGBTQ+ stories on screen. Dating Amber (2020) - Prime Dating Amber is an Irish coming-of-age story set in the 1990s about two closeted teens who decide to date each other to hide their sexuality and stop the homophobic abuse they are receiving from their classmates. It's a heartfelt and funny story about friendship and self-acceptance. Breakfast on Pluto (2005) - RTÉ Player Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson star in this film that follows Patricia Braden, an Irish trans woman, who is on the search for her mother who abandoned her at birth. During this search she manages to fall foul of the IRA. Lyra (2021) – RTÉ Player Lyra documents the life and death of Lyra McKee, a Northern Irish journalist who was murdered while observing a riot in Derry. This film was put together using voice recordings from Lyra's dictaphone as well as her text messages, home video recordings, and other archives. Handsome Devil (2016) - Disney + This Irish coming-of-age story follows Ned and Conor who become roommates at their boarding school. When the loner and jock become unsuspected friends, they must grapple with the difficult dynamics of being in an all-boys secondary school while also coming to terms with who they are. Unicorns (2023) - Netflix Luke is a straight white man struggling to adjust to being a single father. Ayasha is a Southeast Asian drag queen, leading a double life. When their paths cross one night, their undeniable chemistry forces them to be honest with themselves. This film explores identity, connection, and the harsh realities many trans people face. Fire Island (2022) - Disney + The movie follows a group of friends on their annual vacation trip to Fire Island. When Howie meets Charlie, their romance is complicated by classism, ex-boyfriends and overbearing friends. Fire Island is a raunchy romcom that's inspired by Pride and Prejudice, so if that doesn't entice you to watch it, then I don't know what will! Shiva Baby (2020) - Prime Shiva Baby follows Danielle, a directionless bisexual Jewish woman who attends a Shiva attended by her ex-girlfriend, her sugar daddy, and her dysfunctional family. What could possibly go wrong? The chaotic and intense energy of this movie is perfect for people who love messy dramedies. A Secret Love (2020) - Netflix Terry Donahue and Pat Henschel met in 1947 and fell in love. As this was a less than accepting time, they had to live their life as a couple discreetly, even keeping it a secret from their family. Finally in their 80's they felt comfortable enough to live their lives openly, but this came with its own set of challenges. This documentary is a moving look at love, resilience, and the cost of hiding who you are. It's a Sin (2021) - Channel 4 This show follows a group of five friends living their lives at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980's. It's a beautiful ode to living, loving, and fighting for joy in the face of tragedy. Pose (2018) - Disney+ Pose is about New York City's ball culture, an LGBTQ+ subculture in the African American and Latino communities, throughout the 1980s and 1990s. We see this through the lens of members of the gay and trans community as they navigate the dynamics of chosen family, and how they are perceived in the world during the AIDS crisis. Adults (2025) - Disney + Adults is an ensemble comedy that follows the lives of a friend group as they navigate their 20s. It's a really easy binge that'll have you laughing endlessly. If you love sitcoms like New Girl and How I Met Your Mother, then this one is for you. Killing Eve (2018) - RTÉ Player This spy thriller follows Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), an MI6 officer who is tasked with catching Villanelle (Jodi Comer), a psychopathic assassin. As the chase goes on, they become more and more obsessed with one another. Is this obsession fueled by love or hate? This is a question they must answer. Feel Good (2020) – Netflix A semi-autobiographical romantic comedy where Mae Martin plays a fictionalised version of themselves. Mae is a recovering drug addict, trying to navigate the modern-day world of love, addiction and sexuality all while attempting to progress their career as a stand-up comedian. Harlem (2021) – Prime Harlem follows the strong bond among four Black women navigating love, careers, and self-discovery. The support and friendship these women give each other coupled with the witty humor and dialogue makes this a fun watch. As crazy as they all are, there are pieces of them that we can all relate to. Overcompensating (2025) - Prime Benny, a football player, heads to college struggling with his sexuality. To hide who he is he finds himself "overcompensating", which leads him to do ridiculous things with unintended consequences. This satirical comedy of college life for an in the closet gay man is the perfect binge. Queer as Folk UK (1999) - Channel 4 Queer as Folk documents the lives and loves of young gay men Stuart, Vince and Nathan in Manchester. This groundbreaking drama was one of the first shows to debut gay characters, and not as background characters but as the leads. It's gritty, it's real, and it's relevant. With only two short seasons, when you're done, you can treat yourself to the US version.

Pillow Queens gearing up for huge Dublin show for Pride
Dublin indie heroes Pillow Queens are gearing up for a huge Pride show this weekend - their first gig of the year in the capital. The three-piece will play the Just Eat Pride Event at the Grand Social, with support from Derry singer-songwriter, SOAK, after this Saturday's Dublin Pride Parade. 'We are excited about it,' Pillow Queens bass player and co-vocalist Sarah Corcoran told the Irish Mirror ahead of the show. 'It's nice to be playing a venue like the Grand Social again, because it's been a few years since we did something like that. 'We're having a great time. We're trying to get a set together that's just like the hits, the festival bangers. Just so everyone's in good form for Pride, so we need to make sure we keep it that way!' For Pillow Queens, Pride is 'an opportunity to check in with how far' the group have come, and 'how much progress' there is still to make - alongside celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. 'I think Pride is an individual thing, generally speaking,' Sarah said. 'But I suppose for the band, I think we see Pride as an opportunity to check in with how far we've come and how much progress we've still yet to make, as well as celebrating our community. 'Because I think the Queer community in Ireland is a really special one, so it's a really nice chance to get to go and join the march, and then go and do our sound check and then just sort of party the night away.' All proceeds from ticket sales for the event will go towards Irish charity Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre. 'I think resources are still very, very necessary,' Sarah explained. 'Not everybody has a supportive community in their direct vicinity, so they need to be able to reach out. And Outhouse is one of those organisations that offers those resources. 'Whether it's education you're looking for, community or support, or just an ear to listen, the Outhouse is just incredible for doing that. 'It also provides a space for the LGBTQ+ community to just come together in Dublin City, which is incredible. And their coffee is really good too.' 'It's really special,' Sarah added, talking about her own experience with Outhouse. 'It's been going for years and years, and I remember being a teenager and going in and just picking up leaflets, and it being very informative to me, coming to terms with my own identity. 'Then just meeting people there as well. They host events, they host exhibitions... Always been a great support to not only the LGBTQ+ community, but also the Irish music scene, as well, which is amazing.' Pillow Queens are currently working on a new album, with the band getting stuck into writing new tunes and making demos. 'Tunes are still getting written, we are going to keep writing tunes until we have no energy to write anymore. 'Because it's fun, and we haven't really had the opportunity to do it before, because for the last three albums we've been in a contract with a label in North America, so there was a bit of an expectation that we'd release an album, then tour, then just go straight in and release another album. 'Whereas now we're out of contract with that label, so the pressure is completely off, and we can sort of change the speed, the direction, a little bit, the style as well, and just sort of go wherever we want to go with it. 'We're in the middle of doing demos at the moment. 'Our lovely friend Darragh is playing drums with us, he's also our producer and engineer, so he's helping us put together a demo, which is amazing because we've been learning those skills little by little over the years, but we're nowhere near as good as he is, so it's great.' Pillow Queens will be supported on the day by Derry singer-songwriter SOAK, who they previously toured with. Sarah shared: 'We toured with them in 2018, I want to say, around Europe. That was our first foray into the tour bus life, and we haven't witnessed it since, that was very exciting for us. 'They took us under their wing and took us around Europe, so it's exciting to get to share a stage with them again.' Pillow Queens and SOAK will play the Just Eat Dublin Pride Event at The Grand Social on Saturday. All proceeds from ticket sales, as well as a €20,000 Just Eat donation will be given to Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre.
