Movies constructing gay as deviance or wrong?

I am doing a paper on being gay as being deviant and I was hoping someone could direct me to some movies that showcase this such as American Beauty where the father is secretly gay but hides it and denies it. I want to show how it's presented in media and to the public, if anyone has any additional ideas for me that would be great as well!

Thanks so much!

    There is "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" (a book and a film) where an older man kills his younger (though adult aged) lover. It's actually a true story too.

    It was notable in that because most people did not know the older man was gay, they though he killed the guy out of spite or some other selfish reason. However, it was actually a lover's quarrel and the younger man threatened him with a gun, which is why he shot him.
