Old friends Natasha Lyonne and Melanie Lynskey have lots to reminisce about, having first forged a bond during the filming of the 1999 Kiss-inspired movie “Detroit Rock City.” But their most memorable on-screen pairing was in another movie that premiered that year — director Jamie Babbit’s queer cult classic “But I’m a Cheerleader.” A quarter century into their friendship, Lynskey and Lyonne appreciate that both of their careers are peaking now that they’re in their 40s.

On Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” Lynskey plays Shauna, a reckless New Jersey housewife traumatized by her experiences in the wilderness as a teenager.

But if the landscape looks thin today—when strides have slowly but steadily been made toward more accurate and diverse LGBTQ+ stories and characters—it was obviously much worse mid-Century; particularly in the immediate pre and post-Stonewall years, when the gay rights movement was barely even starting to make a dent in the cultural conversation. However, once in a blue moon, the rare movie came along that not only featured gay characters, but centered them.
