Some gay recommendations; all are set in historic time periods so not 100% representative of the modern LGB experience, but all amazing pieces of work that really reflect on the modern struggles of accepting oneself / being accepted:

Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin

The City and the Pillar by Gore Vidal

Brokeback Mountain

The Imitation Game

IMO the vast majority of LGB movies are pretty bad, but the above two are incredible and award winning.

I had to read Brokeback Mountain in uni, and we had to read parts aloud for some reason. How the men in the class squirmed. It was interesting to see their reaction.

I've had Giovanni's Room on my list to read, since I really enjoyed Beale Street.
