WARNING: WHITE LOTUS SPOILERS!

Blast from the past! Remember the early 2000s? While the world was reeling from 9/11 and the beginning of new wars, literal and cultural, a lot was going on in Queer film in this changed landscape.

The digital video revolution helped make it cheaper to make Queer films (for better and for worse), and Hollywood was producing some good Queer work too -- though now some of it feels problematic in hindsight. But can we still approach and appreciate those films for what they were at the time?

PLUS: were the 2000s the golden age for the lesbian comedy?
