(See “Ammonite,” “The Boys in The Band,” even “Brokeback Mountain.”) Much like the majority of Black films being about slavery and the civil rights era, keeping LGBTQ stories in the past ensures audiences don’t get to see images of happy, thriving LGBTQ people living their lives.

Set in 1950s Britain, “My Policeman” sees Styles playing a closeted gay cop navigating two romances, one with a man and the other with a woman.
