As a gay man who was never really in the closet (I was fairly open with my parents about most things), I was a little shocked by Simon's betrayal of his friends to hide his sexuality. Then again, everyone's story is different and I made my share of bad decisions as a teen...
What I appreciated most about Love, Simon was the John Hughes feel of the film, and I'm looking forward to the day when we have a teen romance for gays where their homosexuality isn't the major plot line. Still, when the film ended I'd cried more than once and truly felt like I'd enjoyed an authentic cinematic experience.
