Finding gay movies on Netflix!

Netflix has over 300 million paid subscribers, making it the largest streaming service on Earth by some margin. What many people might not realize, though, is that there are hundreds of secretNetflix codes that subscribers can use to gain access to special sub-menus within the Netflix webpage, each of which contains a carefully curated list of niche content. 

LGBTQ (5977)

  • Gay & Lesbian Documentaries (4720)

  • LGBTQ Comedies (7120)

  • LGBTQ Dramas (500)

  • LGBTQ TV Shows (65263)

  • Romantic LGBTQ Movies (3329)

To use secret Netflix codes, subscribers simply need to open up their favorite browser and navigate to "netflix.com/browse/genre/" followed by their Netflix genre code of choice. Alternatively, you can click directly on the codes listed above, which will open up a new browser tab containing the corresponding genre page on Netflix. Sadly, as of the time of writing, there's no way to use Netflix codes through the Netflix apps for mobiles and televisions.
