JUNE may be the month for the LGBTQIA+ community, but this hasn’t stopped filmmakers and storytellers from releasing queer content at other times of the year.
This August 2023, gays will definitely be winning with the release of two shows with queer content.
Red, White, & Royal Blue
Amazon Prime Video announced that its new movie, Red, White, & Royal Blue, will be released on August 11, 2023.
The movie is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Casey McQuiston. It tells the story of Alex, son of the US president, who is forced to pretend to be friends with the prince of the United Kingdom, Henry, because of his mother’s re-election bid.
The two become friends. But later on, their relationship will blossom into a romance. With the president’s reputation on the line, Alex and Henry’s relationship will be tested.
