The Archive

Black and LGBTQ+ visibility on screen goes as far back as the beginning of moving images. This searchable archive is our way of documenting those characters and the films and shows of which they were a part.

We’ll be adding to it on an ongoing basis and welcome your help in building the archive out. If you have a character in mind that we should include, let us know right quick!

Our parameters are simple: Black, (textually) queer and/or trans fictional characters in onscreen scripted projects.

How to use: Simply type in the name of a Black LGBTQ+ character, or a film or TV show title.
