Love, Simon was charming, hilarious, heartfelt, sweet, and the love story I wish I had seen when I was in high school. So glad it’s out in the world now. Me too, for that matter.

I’ve never been comfortable kissing or putting my arm around my gf in a movie theatre or public in general. Tonight I laid my head on her shoulder while we watched Love, Simon and felt completely comfortable for the first time. So yeah, I’d say this movie is pretty important.

Two actors in Love Simon came out as queer since making the movie and Nick Robinson’s own brother also came out during filming but pls media, tell me gay teens don’t need this movie, fascinating stuff

I interviewed the lovely actor about his role in , and how the film helped him along his fraught path to finally coming out. Warning, this story has BIG SPOILERS, so maybe save it until after you see the film:
