While preparing to edit the upcoming Lumpen 18 on queerness and class, I've been thinking about working class queer depictions in film and tv. Can you think of any other media on working class queer life? Bonus points if it's not US based or not focused on a romantic relationship.. 🩵🤍🩷

God's Own Country (2017)
Yorkshire farmer meets Romanian migrant. It doesn't start well.
Explores themes of queerness in rural areas, family, class and migration.

[Video For

My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)
South London in the Thatcher years. Punks & skins, racist violence, family tensions, hot sex, everyone has a secret..

What It Feels Like For A Girl (2025)
TV series based on Paris Lees' memoirs. Small town working class queer teen finds sex, drugs and queer kinship in the 2000s.

What Have I Done to Deserve This? (1984)
One of Almodóvar's lesser known films. Working class family and their neighbours just trying to get by. Domestic violence, care work, internalised classism, underage s3x work, drug dealing and a little magic.

Admittedly, we’re not great at social media. That’s because we see these platforms as some of the most toxic spaces, and we don’t want to participate in that. They’re also places that make us dependent on the whims of tech billionaires, while helping make the very few very, very rich. 1/3
