Restored revision 1097076834 by Pyxis Solitary (talk): Do not add rows just for countries. Don't muck up the list and its formatting. Don't make the table more complicated for editors to edit.
Tags: Twinkle Undo Reverted
Undid revision 1097087409 by Pyxis Solitary (talk) I have fundamentally disagree with you there. Putting all the countries into one row makes the chart inaccessible... and I'd argue it violates WP:ACCESSIBILITY. And it doesn't add too much complexity and it can be easily followed.

This article is about live-action feature films. For animated films, see List of animated films with LGBT characters. For television films, see List of made-for-television films with LGBT characters.
For lesbian, bisexual, transgender characters, see List of feature films with lesbian characters, List of feature films with bisexual characters, and List of feature films with transgender characters.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

The following is a list of feature films with fictional and factual gay characters. The films were released theatrically, direct-to-video, or on a streaming platform (non-television network).
