LGBT: Coming Out Stories
A short list of movies about the coming out period. Either for those wanting a little insight or perspective in someone coming out.. A special note: I've kept the movies in this list on the "easy" viewing side.. There might be some p.d.a./ scenes of faces getting close but nothing that one might consider an "overdose" of the daily in's n outs of LGBT life.. "Love Simon" is not on the list.. seen it, it's ok but, there is just something "Off" about it...
