For more information regarding these and other GLBO-centered materials,
notably film shorts, books, periodicals, and music, get yourself a copy
of this outstanding reference book:

Gay and Lesbian Library Service
edited by Cal Gough and Ellen Greenblatt
MacFarland and Company, Inc., Publishers

Many thanks to Ellen Greenblatt for giving me access to the film lists
from this excellent resource book.

Another book I used to compile this list is "The Celluloid Closet",
by Vito Russo.  Russo's book is mostly about Hollywood's mistreatment
of gay characters in films, but by the last chapter, films featuring
accurate, sensitive, or at least interesting portrayals start showing
up with more regularity.

Thanks for the contributions from Sim David Aberson, Hector Bellmann,
David Peter Coster, Mike Drayton, David Edelsohn, Michelle Elliott,
William Tsun-Yuk Hsu, Steve Misek, Tim Pierce, Jeff Shaumeyer, Mike
Shepherd, and Max Meredith Vasilatos.

(If you contributed a film and I forgot you, please remind me so I can
thank you in the next edition of these lists.)
