One of the rare things in movie history is about to happen, a gay film gets a wide release. This weekend sees Love, Simon, based on the book Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda, premiere and a lot has been made of the fact that it’s the first major studio release with a gay love story
So every so often with these Wayback Wednesday pieces, I want to revisit particular film years to see if I still feel the way I once did. This should be a monthly thing and given the myriad of anniversaries that come up, it could be really fun. 2012 was a pretty interesting year for me.
I recently got a tumblr ask about what my favorite gay books/movies were and I’d figured I’d share the results here. I decided to retile the post queer to encompass more groups btw. As I was crafting the answer for this, it struck me just how much of this content I didn’t see/read till I was well into college. I mean with the exception of three of those books and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I hadn’t experience ANY of this till I turned 18, which is crazy. I’ve made up for much of that time lost as you can see below, even though I have a long way to go. Anyways, here’s some stuff for you all to check out with what’s left of your summer. Anything I should add to the list?
