5 Hot Queer Titles to Stream in February

February is officially underway. For many, Valentine’s Day is the only thing on the brain for the next few days. But if you’re single, all it means is that it’s another month to be your fabulous, independent self.

Take yourself out to dinner without worrying about making small talk. Buy yourself something nice because you don’t have to waste your money on edible arrangements or annoyingly cute stuffed animals. Use all the blankets without playing a game of midnight tug-of-war.

Or just chill out with a good streaming queer title since you don’t have to debate with anyone about what to binge this week. From TV and movie classics to new indies and documentaries, these titles are perfect for an independent viewer like yourself.
