Thank God It's Queer celebrates 70 years of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955)! Starring James Dean, Sal Mineo, and Natalie Wood, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE follows teenage rabble-rouser Jim Stark (Dean), who finds a makeshift family with wide-eyed, doting Plato (Mineo) and lovely Judy (Wood), until trouble rears its head. Between the openly queer Dean and Mineo—whose Plato is lauded as the first gay teenager portrayed onscreen, though silently—and queer icon Wood, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE is a beloved, tragic, coded, and groundbreaking queer classic.
Director: Nicholas Ray
