In the journey to equality we move frustratingly forwards and backwards. But the world is changing, and it’s one with more space for queer people than ever before. These five films, which celebrate LGBT+ lives past, present and future, offer up a ray of hope.

Can you be Muslim and gay? A bereaved fiancé goes on a deeply personal journey to prevent the tragedy from ever happening again. In 2014, Matt's fiancé and soulmate of 13 years, Naz, took his own life two days after being confronted about being gay by his Muslim family. In this film Matt goes on a journey to try and understand the challenges of what it's like to be queer and Muslim... in the hope of preventing another young LGBTQ+ person taking their own life.
