- Tim and Ken15 February 2026I've seen this movie 2 or 3 times. I always enjoy an LGBT coming of age story. Some other older gays might be able to relate to the challenges of coming out. The need to "act like one of the guys" to fit in. The sense that some of us are unable to come out to ourselves and others until there's some distance to feel safe enough to do so. But when it finally happens, it just feels so right, and freeing.
