Now that two of your hottest leading men, Matt Bomer and Wentworth Miller, are both officially out, I’d like a big, gay, romantic drama starring these two at the multiplex by next summer, please.

In this issue we’re proud to present the 100 Gay Films That Matter. We’ve been fine-tuning the list for weeks so I hope it inspires you to see some of these movies or re-watch an old favourite.
