Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

I only watched the movie, but it was quite lovely.

(The original, English book next to a German edition, from a random bookshop in Germany.)

Red, White & Royal Blue is a romance novel originally published in 2019 about a relationship between the son of the US President and a Prince of England. The two start out disliking each other enough to cause an international incident, which leads to their families starting a PR campaign focussing around giving the impression of them being actually friends. During it, they get to know each other better, and soon start a relationship, that they need to keep secret for diplomatic reasons. 

The book was extremely popular upon release and got a lot of positive feedback. It has been made into a movie by Amazon Prime in 2023, and quickly became one of the most watched romantic movies on the platform.

You can watch the trailer for the movie here.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
