It’s another weekend and another reason to enjoy watching movies in the comfort of your home, with your loved one cuddling next to you.
As we’ve always stressed, intimacy is for everyone, regardless of gender preference. It’s about time that we celebrate and acknowledge the fact that love, intimacy, and everything else in between goes beyond borders, beyond preferences.
For this week, we’re putting a spotlight on movies that are focused on lesbians, while there are a lot of them on Netflix, here are our top 5 picks:
Ride or Die

Elisa and Marcela
