Set in a gay bar on Christmas Eve, this ’70s film is a hidden holiday gem—and it stars a Golden Girl!
Welcome back to our queer film retrospective, “A Gay Old Time.” In this week’s column, we revisit the 1971 holiday drama Some Of My Best Friends Are…Christmastime and the various celebrations around it have always been a complicated time for the queer community.
For most of those around us, this is an occasion to get together with friends and family and partake in traditions that date back hundreds of years.
However, these are celebrations that many of us have historically been left out of, either by our own close relationships or by institutions.
Not many are eager to go back to families that have pushed us away, or engage in religious rituals from groups that discriminate against us.Subscribe to our daily newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Which is why we have created our own rituals, families, and communities for these times, like we have with so many other aspects of our lives.
