"‘We are black f*ggots with a political agenda!’ – The Cube’s queer sleazefest keeps on rolling with the best 90s flick you’ve never heard of. Stephen Winter’s criminally underrated debut follows a ragtag young activist group in their radical campaign against the deadly toll of state inaction during the AIDS crisis. It’s a dazzling celebration of the wit and wrath of queer people of colour."

For Pride Month 2026, we're going back to the nineties, the decade that brought the queer community both joy (New Queer Cinema, the growth of direct action movements) and pain (the height of the AIDS epidemic and the continuing homophobic backlash against queer liberation). We're exploring the scuzzy-sexy underbelly of the decade with four modern queer classics.
