In heteronormative rom-coms and romantic films, romance is often directly associated with passionate emotion and the romantic involvement between leading characters in their journey through love (or something like it).

Themes of empowerment, joy, resilience and strength in the face of adversity are all prominent features here. This is probably appropriate considering the contexts of history and the difficulties that the oppressed or marginalized in these communities faced while fighting to be accepted. Sometimes, the stories also take different forms, in retelling love from days past or in short whirlwind romances that burn brightly before burning into oblivion. In many parts of the world, LGBTQ+ individuals are still persecuted, and much of the love stories that represent the LGBTQ+ community are still censored or banned. There are also still so many more love stories yet to be told, particularly those of trans people and LGBTQ+ people of color, which are slowly entering the mainstream as more diverse and inclusive filmmakers tell these stories.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --> This Valentine\u2019s Day, you might be looking for a bingeworthy romantic movie marathon with a partner or some sultry viewing to get in the mood with your person of choice to Netflix and chill with.
