Female Trouble (1974)

Female Trouble offers a largely positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes through its celebration of extreme individuality and non-conformity. It features an explicitly lesbian character, Taffy, whose identity is affirmed, and the lead role is played by drag icon Divine, whose performance inherently challenges gender norms with agency and complexity, aligning with the film's transgressive spirit.

The film consistently portrays Christian symbols, morality, and institutions with extreme irreverence, mockery, and blasphemy. The narrative embraces transgression and sacrilege, presenting a world where traditional religious values are rejected and ridiculed without any counterbalancing positive portrayal.
