My Parents Don't Want Me To Inherit A Mess & I'm So Grateful

Hartshorn today, adding: "We are in 2024, and it's still super tough to find entertainment — especially movies — with a positive, queer story at the forefront." But she recently gathered Henry and two other queer 21-year-olds to get some recommendations for what is available. And it's a great list.
