There is a movie on Peacock called 'They/Them' I think everyone needs to watch, it's great.
Now, I'm gonna put quick warning, that it deals with homophobia and transphobia, as it takes place at a gay conversion camp. There are violent scenes, it's supposed to be a horror/ slasher. There are also borderline s*x scenes, so this is for more mature audiences.
It's a pro-lgbt movie with the main character, Jordan, who is nonbinary (I was super happy about this, being nonbinary myself), and the writer of this movie is openly gay. I think he wanted to write the movie as a fun way to show what goes on at conversion camps, as well as to send the message that no one can tell you who you are.
It's a really good movie, I think everyone should watch it, as long as you're okay with homophobia, transphobia, nsfw, and violence.

I watched it a few days ago. As a nonbinary(specifically agender)person myself, it was nice to see some open representation. I thought the movie was okay, but it felt a bit rushed and kinda all over the place at times. I think they could've done more with all the characters, and their stories. Like for example, Gabriel and the role he played at the camp. I won't say his role as not to spoil it for others, but it would've been interesting to hear an in depth story as to how he got that role. I also think they could've done more with Jordan's character. After all, they were the only nonbinary person at the camp, and nonbinary people have been known to deal with discrimination both in and out of the trans community.
Also the scene where the campers were singing and dancing to pink, while funny, just seemed really out of place for the film's genre. I mean I can understand it was meant to be a bit of light in an otherwise dark situation, but if the film was meant to show the horrors of conversion camps and therapy, then that scene did not aid in that.
Overall I'd rate the film 2.5/5 stars. The potential for the film was there, just needs a bit of polishing up.
