The biggest rec I could give if you donāt use it already, is use Tubi! They have so much available for free with ads. They also have pretty robust documentary section most of the time. They seem to have quite a few queer culture related documentaries which I very much appreciate.
Here are some documentaries I have watched on Tubi that I like:
The Big Lonely (devastating)
Drag Becomes Him
Dirt Woman
Desert Coffee
The Wolf Pack
Dear Zachary
Dr. Delirium and the Edgewood Experiments
Who Do You Want Me to Be?
Warriors of the Discotheque
Glory Daze (not the movie)
MarJoe
The Dog

I couldnt decide so in no particular order
ā¢Bloodsisters (1995):Great documentary about the San Francisco leather dyke scene in the 90s, amazing look into personal dynamics, terminology, you also get to see the 93 Washington gay and lesbian march as well as the Ms. Leather pageant. Michell Handelman truly preserved something special
ā¢Wojnarowic:F**k you f*ggot f**ker(2020)- a pretty recent doc that truly shows the brutality of the Regan administration to the gay community during the AIDS crisis and also give roses to one of the most criminally underrated artist of that time. The title is also pulled directly from Davidās paintings born from a homophobic doodle he found on the sidewalk.

The first titles that come to mind are Rotting in the Sun & All of Us Strangers. Both a bit dark and different than the films you mentioned though. I also heard Passages is pretty good and pretty sexy.
When it comes to lesbian films Iād recommend Blue is the Warmest Colour in case you havenāt seen that yet.
If youāre up for starting a new series: Itās a Sin.

i actually donāt think i have a singular favorite queer movie but iām recing pride since it is lesser-known (despite having a great cast!). itās based on a true story and highlights a beautiful intersection of the labor and gay lib movements! when i went to london i visited the bookstore from the film (gayās the word).
bound is also a favorite of mine! :) i recently watched saving face and loved that one too. the incredibly true adventures of two girls in love (which i have recād before) is also a favorite. bodies bodies bodies, bottoms, jenniferās body, and but iām a cheerleader as well!

My name is Shawna. I responded āoh my god! My name is Shawn, too!ā Then stuttered through saying āwait, no, thatās not my name.ā and since I was so anxious I just rambled for way to long about the difference between our names.

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual peopleās actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AIās biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because itās a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children donāt use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists donāt use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas donāt exist, as if cardboard and tape arenāt in over abundance.
