“Nobody notices when we leave. I mean, the moment when we really choose to go. At best you might feel a whisper, or the wave of a whisper, undulating down”
The Lovely Bones (2009)
Peter Jackson
the theatre had queer teens and straight teens and adults and allies and it was amazing. I heard a queer boy next to me gushing about simon and (the book? I think??) And he cried and my straight friends cried and they loved it. I loved it. It’s an amazing movie. My cheeks were hurting from smiling so much. Please see this movie. It’s what every queer youth needs. It’s what we all need. It’s funny and emotional and sad and happy and beautiful and relatable. It’s everything I’ve wanted. Please support this film.
One of my favorite things about love simon is the constant gay humor and body language that cis het people could never understand. The sighs and microecxpressions you get when somebody pulls some hetero bullshit, the look of hurt you get when somebody makes a gay joke, all the little things you think you’re alone in are there. This is the best lgbt movie I have ever seen.
No one ever questions movies centered around straight people, there’s millions of them. No one ever stops and says “Does the world really NEED this?” They just get to have it, no questions asked. But as soon as a movie is centered around characters that are LGBTQ+ people start to ask “Do we really NEED this? Is this movie solving all of our problems? But these flaws and that’s not realistic, is it? Too much of this and not enough of that. & Do we really NEED this?” And it’s so frustrating. Because why can’t we just have our stories told? Why can’t we just have characters that are LGBTQ+ just because. Why do our movies have to solve all of the worlds problems? Why do we have to explain ourselves every time we dream to be represented? Why can’t we just have movies & representation just because? Stop asking if we really NEED it, we fucking DESERVE it.
I JUST WATCHED LOVE, SIMON AND I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY PICTURE THAT REPRESENTS ME BETTER THAN ABBY UGLY CRYING AT THE FERRIS WHEEL SCENE

THIS MOVIE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS IT
that quote from love, simon “these last few years, it’s almost like i can feel you holding your breath. you can exhale now, simon.” hit me so hard. it’s so rare to find a line that so perfectly describes what it’s like being closeted and how scared and isolated you feel. i can’t even put into words how important this movie is to me and i’m so glad the lgbt community is finally getting the kind of good representation we’ve always deserved.
when people that criticize Love, Simon are like “it’s a movie you could see on cable and forget about easily” I just think…… are you serious? no. no you CAN’T find something like Love, Simon on cable, because there’s NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE because homophobic assholes don’t want to create LGBT+ media that normalizes us and accepts us, they just leave that to indie movies that mostly show us suffering and being sad about our sexuality or dying. so no, we can’t find a movie like this just anywhere. Love, Simon IS special and new and should be supported.
I watched the movie Love, Simon last night and I sobbed at the scene where he is just breaking down over being outed, and I don’t think straight people get just how horrible that can be for someone.

whether someone has an accepting family, or one that will punish them for who they love, you should never NEVER out someone against their will.
outing someone is a huge deal. Hell, coming out on your own is a huge deal. You have no right to take that away from someone. You have no right to out a person before they are ready.

anyways, this has been a message for The Straights™️
