LGBTQ is a group that has been at last getting proper representation in the mainstream Hollywood movies where they are not used as a mere object for creating comedy and humor rather showcasing the actual hard-hitting stories of their struggle. As stated in the article by N. Jamiyla Chisholm that Hollywood has come a long way from portraying gay characters as a tool of humor to making it a character with emotion and struggle but still it has to go a long way. When we think of LGBTQ, a group comes to our mind that will be having different sexual orientation but we often fail to miss that within this community there are people belonging from a different race, culture and regions which are often not portrayed sufficiently by the cinema.
