There is more lesbian content out there than ever before—more than anyone can keep up with on their own! But thankfully, there's LesFlicks! I subscribed and never have to miss a new lesbian film or couple on a series ever again! Worth the $ tenfold!

#RepresentationMatters
Lesflicks is proud to prioritise under-represented voices including queer womxn of colour, disability, mental health and various identities including bisexual, poly and trans. Even LGBTQ+ platforms lack stories for queer womxn! Because everyone should be able to see themselves on screen.

Fairly Priced
We hear the audience craving more authentic stories. We hear the filmmakers struggling to get content funded. We're proud to offer the solution! Fairly priced content that is affordable for audiences with fair royalty rates to content creators means Lesflicks works for all involved.
Authentic Voices
#LGBTFansDeserveBetter
Lesflicks is proud to champion stories made by independent filmmakers of all sizes and backgrounds. We know they understand our stories best. Streaming services traditionally show you content from studios, leaving independent stories unrepresented and invisible. Authentic stories are best made by queer people in our community based on their lived experiences.
Much needed app with a wide range of LBQ films. Really liked the short film section which has some creative and new content!
