Here are five films that take a long, unflinching look at the darker side of LGBT+ life, exploring workplace bigotry, drug-fuelled depravity, grief, loneliness and the viciousness of bullies. But if all that sounds a little bleak, they are also compelling stories, with great writing and superb performances, and there is even a bittersweet happy ending or two! 

Dyma bum ffilm sy'n cymryd golwg hir, pybyr ar ochr dywyllach bywyd LHDT+, gan archwilio rhagfarn yn y gweithle, trallod sy'n cael ei danio gan gyffuriau, galar, unigrwydd a diefligrwydd bwlis. Ond os yw hynny i gyd yn swnio ychydig yn llwm, maen nhw hefyd yn straeon cymhellol, gydag ysgrifennu gwych a pherfformiadau gwych, ac mae yna ddiweddglo neu ddau hapus chwerwfelys hyd yn oed! 

Chased by bullies a young boy, Jack, is rescued by a stranger calling himself Pop. Each of them is struggling with the loss of a loved one, and they form a bond, but it’s one that may be broken by the truth of Pop’s mysterious past.


Yn cael ei erlid gan fwlis, mae bachgen ifanc, Jack, yn cael ei achub gan ddieithryn sy'n galw ei hun yn Pop. Mae pob un ohonyn nhw'n cael trafferth gyda cholli rhywun annwyl, ac maen nhw'n ffurfio cysylltiad, ond mae'n un a allai gael ei dorri gan wirionedd gorffennol dirgel Pop.
