Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Tess M — 18 Mar 2018
As someone who is gay, it's awesome to see people like me be in the forefront of a big budget hollywood movie. This was the first time I truly related to a movie geared to people my age, especially with him struggling to come out to friends and family.
It honestly felt so refreshing to watch a cheesy teen romcom that's not about your typical straight couple. I didn't even realize how much I needed something like this until I started to watch it, and it just hit me that there's almost nothing out there in mainstream media that centers around a same-sex couple.
This movie is monumental to me and many other people, and I cannot even express how much it meant to have a gay teenager at the center of it. This is the first time I've felt represented in the media, and will hopefully pave the way for more stories of lgbt people in mainstream tv and movies.
