A nice @rilaws piece on Love, Simon. It’s a triumph that a gay coming out story exists as a big studio movie, but at the same time this 30something remembers his desperate hunt for a copy of, like, Beautiful Thing…as pretty exciting.https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/03/love-simon-review …

Sure, it should *not* have been hard for me to acquire a gay coming of age movie as a teen, but there WAS something thrilling about the search. Oh well! Net gain. Onward and upward. Drown the world in queer stories.

GAH. Beautiful Thing was the first gay movie I saw with a boy — my first boyfriend!
