I can’t think of a relatively mainstream dark comedy of the era that was that fair and kind to a trans character (who -spoilers!!!- ends up with a nice straight boyfriend).

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange “Hedwig and The Angry Inch” is an excellent musical, in which the trans character ends up with a straight boyfriend. I used to have the soundtrack CD. Lovely music!

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange I was living in Paddington (Sydney) when Priscilla came out. Another absolutely iconic movie of the the time was P.J. Hogan's "Muriel's Wedding". At the time it was cool and sophisticated to say "Priscilla was for the straights, Muriel's for us.". I did find Muriel much more identifiable, without a single overtly queer character. After all, I moved to Sydney at 19 in search of lurve - boyoboy did I find it!
