‘Love, Simon’ and the Importance of LGBT Rom-Coms

After having seen Love, Simon โ€“ the first LGBT+ film to be distributed by a major studio, 20th Century Fox, (who deserve props for bringing the film to life) it has come to my attention that โ€ฆ

geeksofcolor:

“But what’s more, Love, Simon shows the good in humanity. In today’s blockbusters, we’ve been clamoring for hope, heart and optimism. Well, Love, Simon has all those things. Sure, it may seem like a bit of a fantasy, but what’s wrong with that? Straight people have these sorts of movies all the time. Films are supposed to be an escape, a chance to get away from whatever problems you’re having in the world and spend two hours in a different world, with different characters. LGBT+ people deserve to feel good when they leave the theater – and thanks to Love, Simon, I’m done keeping my story straight.“
