My moms favorite movie is first wives club and my dads was in & out lol. But my momis a Catholic and my dad was the strong temepered mans man, my mom know nda took it hard and my dad told jokes after i came out at 21. Its wasent easy coming out because you think omg my parents are gonna hate me and disown you, which sometimes happens. My parents did okay but i knew it was weird for them to except. I can relate to some of these movie scenes. Things are alot easier today thanks to movies and tv shows (like will and grace) but sometimes its still hard because there are ppl out there who hate you because they dont understand or just ignorant. Todays gen have it alot easier they just not need to aggravate those who are aholes.

My friend came out to me before she came out to her parents. I was happy for her honesty, but heart broken she couldn't tell her parents. After she moved in with her girlfriend. She came out to them. They told her she was dead to them. They called me pissed that I kept that secret. I laughed at them. I said Now that she is an adult and doesn't need you. She can be happy. Shame on you both. Years later her mother came around and is part of her life, Afer her husband died. I'm thinking the father was the source of the homophobia.

Wow, you have created the best list of LGBTQ coming out movies Ive ever seen. You included many of my all-time favorite movies with LGBTQ characters. I was especially pleased that you included the original Edge of Seventeen film. It angers me that another, more recent movie, stole that name. Edge really sets the template for many other high school coming out movies. Alex Strangelove, for instance, contains some similar plot threads.

Great selection of scenes. Latter Days and Love, Simon get me every time. The series Heartstopper has a few coming out scenes, but when Nick comes out to his mom that he's Bi, is one of my favorites. In the movie SAVED! when Dean comes out to Mary while they're underwater in the pool, is a good one too. I love that a lot of movies/shows have LGBTQ representation, just wish these were available when I was a wee lad in the 70s.

I think my favourite coming out scene isn't an official traditional coming out scene, but I love when Elio and his father speak together towards the end of Call Me By Your Name. Nothing official needed to be said but his father knew and his father was caring and tender towards Elio's feelings and validated what was even confusing and painful for Elio at times. Not to mention the monologue he gives Elio is ABSOLUTELY incredible!

They did a spoof of the coming-out scene of the movie Edge of 17 with the same actress playing the mom in another film called Another gay movie. The character Nico comes out to his mother saying I like guys. His mother is sitting at the Piano she turns around with that same serious look and says Duh! I busted laughing, so funny.

Those three Love, Simon moments were just everything. The one with his Mom wasn't even part of the script. But Jennifer who played his Mom insisted they have am moment and I think she even wrote the scene. Word has it it got all those on set really emotional. How did you miss the Love Victor moments? So many shows out there to pick.

10 always gets me, since it was inspired by a real event: Tom Hanks thanked two of his teachers when he won the Oscar for Philadelphia and one of them was open but not fully public, and Paul Rudnick then had the idea What if? Even with its quirks, it's still a wonderfully fun movie to watch.

I am so glad that you included In and Out. I love this movie and watch it often. I am straight, but I love the storyline of this movie, the fact that others were suspicious of Howard but he didn't realise it himself. until his wedding. Great movie with a great cast and wonderful script.

I Loved Latter Days, totally forgot about that one. My Private Idaho was ground braking at the time, the closet is where most LGBT. were at the time. I was 20 at the time, and gay topics or ideas were mostly taboo. River Phoenix was a great actor, too bad he died tragically.

. but you get to exhale now, Simon will forever and ALWAYS hit me! As a gay man, or any Queer person will know, that statement cannot really be described by someone who has never had to come out! SUCH a great movie and powerful line!

The lead from Alex Strangelove, Daniel Doheny, was a classmate of mine at high school in Vancouver BC. Seeing him do this role filled me with so much pride (pun unintended) because it was amazing to see how far he had come as an actor.

One of my dear friends asked me for support and being there when he came out to his parents. I wholeheartedly said yes. To show love and support is the greatest gift to every person.

Alex Strangelove was _such_ an unexpectedly excellent movie. One of the best gay movies I've ever seen. this side of Shelter, that is) --- really interesting twist on the genre

Gurl who even remembers Love, Simon? It had virtually no substance or conflict. Pretty much just I'm a normal white boy with a perfect life who happens to be gay. Boring

You missed the most devastating coming out of all time in the film Ode to Billie Joe with Robbie Benson and Glynnis O'Connor. Decades before all of these.

I think i've seen three of these movies and can agree with Kissing Jessica Stein. Gets me every time. Tovah Feldshuh performed that scene to perfection.

I've never heard of half these movies, but now I want to watch them. I'm just a straight, old lady, so it's not like I sought them out.

Something about a parent who clearly and admittedly doesn't understand, but still accepts and loves is the most wholesome.
