Am I the only one who thought coming out scene was incredibly well done? Coming out is messy, isn’t always intimate or neatly tied in a bow. Personally, coming out in a high school that was severely homophobic, it felt so real. The way it turns into anxious word vomit, the way all of the thoughts that have been in my head the same way they were in his just start spilling out until he can’t stop sobbing about how he fears he’s going to lose everyone he loves because of this. Even if they’re still there physically, which is not a guarantee, they’ll still look at him different. Like he’s sick. With pity. That is a horrifying thought, to be fundamentally distanced from the people you once considered close, just because of one, inconsequential difference. He needed this. He needed reassurance, that fear was tangible and REAL and now it can’t get to him anymore.
