yeah okay it's not exactly cheerful, either. but it's a damn fun time and it's pretty gay, too
re-animator (1985). it's not explicitly gay. sorry. but it practically is, and it's hilarious and stupid and terrible and wonderful

Bizarre and human film about "gay boy" drag queens/trans women in late 60's Tokyo. The out-of-character interview sections with the cast confused me because I thought it was the characters talking about an in-fiction movie.
fionageist recommended this to me as one of "5 Problematic Queer Films That, While Imperfect, Are Doing Something" and that's a good mindset to have going into it. Parts of it may kinda be uncomfortable or unfortunate or not line up with where we are now, but it's still an entertaining and valuable insight into a form of queer life in a different time and place.

a TWELVE SECOND SCREEN KISS BETWEEN KEVIN KLINE AND TOM SELLECK!!!!! OK!!!!! and it's a comedy with a happy ending.
also DEBS which i still haven't seen but all my lesbian friends love it dearly.
ALSO it's not explicitly gay but pee-wee's big adventure was written directed and starred in by a gay man and pee-wee himself repeatedly expresses total disinterest in the girl who has a crush on him and generally has a fantastic time being unapologetically himself and being totally accepted by everyone despite his eccentricities. i consider that enough to make it gay rep for me personally! and pee-wee's big holiday has a whole storyline with pee-wee basically having a crush on joe manganiello and it culminates with them exchanging friendship bracelets and sharing root beer barrels in pee-wee's tree house, which is really cute.

this was so funny and silly and heartwarming with a thoughtful and loving portrayal of the gay experience. basically: gender is a construct, binaries are a prison, julie andrews is so hot, and i love how this said so much while saying so little. gay rights!
