10 Queer Romances for a Valentine’s Netflix and Chill

· Updated on May 28, 2018

It’s finally here, and if you’re lucky enough to have a Valentine, you might still need some inspiration for a romantic evening. You could always do a couple’s teeth whitening or watch skateboarders wipe out in the park together. I’m single, and I’m not quite sure what couples do these days.

But you can’t go wrong with a good old dinner and a movie date. Sure, you could take that special someone to see Call Me by Your Name at your local AMC for the umpteenth time. Or you could embrace your inner homebody and stay in with a good flick. At least that way, it’s not frowned upon if you want to get naked together.
