"Call Me By Your Name" (2017) is a film that follows the heady romance that develops between a 17 year old boy who lives in Italy (Elio) and his father’s 24 year old male research assistant (Oliver) over the course of an Italian summer in the 1980s.

The majority of the film focuses on the intense and secretive romance between the two men. During their sexual encounters, the camera pans away.

A 'fag hag' is typically a woman who has many gay-male friends, and makes their connection with gay men/gay male culture a large part of their performative identity and social life.
Fag hags were a common trope in queer media and often were accompanied with the attitude that having gay male friends was a trendy thing to do.
The existence of fag hags became popular when the gay rights movement was slowly gaining some mainstream acknowledgment in the late 90s/early 00s, often through depictions in non-queer oriented media (such as on shows like Will and Grace, Sex and the City etc)

During the rise of the queer rights movement, very few films depicted queer characters and the few breakthrough films almost exclusively focused narratives on queer suffering, particularly hate crimes or AIDS trauma.
Philadelphia (1993) was the first film to have a major hollywood actor play a leading gay character. The character is fired because of his homosexuality and dies of AIDS at the end of the film.
Boys Don't Cry (1999) was one of the first films to depict a trans person as the leading character. The character dies as a result of a hate crime.
Brokeback Mountain (2006) was the first queer film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. The romance is cut short between the main characters due to homophobia and the protagonist dies from a hate crime.
However, during this time there were a select few films which focused on more optimistic narratives (eg. The Birdcage (1996), But I'm A Cheerleader (1999), etc).
