A short list of movies about the coming out period. Either for those wanting a little insight or perspective in someone coming out.. A special note: I've kept the movies in this list on the "easy" viewing side.. There might be some p.d.a./ scenes of faces getting close but nothing that one might consider an "overdose" of the daily in's n outs of LGBT life.. "Love Simon" is not on the list.. seen it, it's ok but, there is just something "Off" about it...

Prayers for Bobby
For my list of must-watch coming out stories, 'Prayers for Bobby' is hands down the most moving. Sigourney Weaver [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigourney_Weaver] portrays Mary Griffith, a deeply "religious" mother, set in those beliefs that have no room for anything outside the normal. Learning that her son is gay, she can not reconcile her beliefs and his freedom to be.... It is not until all is too late that she realizes the failures of people and faith that can not make room for peoples reality.. Based on the true story of the life and legacy of Bobby Griffith, Mary Griffith became an advocate for the LGBT+ community.

You Should Meet My Son!
This is my favorite Campy flick.. Ya can't rate it like an 'A' List movie, but it is a fun little ride of a Mom discovering that her 20 something son is gay, and her journey into embracing his life. I'm not going to give too much of a spoiler but, Mom [Joanna McGee] delivers a line that just melts my heart..every time!
There is a few mild crude humor references and gestures early on....

A Kid Like Jake
A slow paced movie, starring Claire Danes and Jim Parsons, portraying parents of a young one that has many gender-fluid traits.
One might hit "stop" or "pause" once starting the movie; I found it to be one I had to be ready to watch.

Boy Erased
Wow! what performances from everybody! A ministers son is sent to a Conversion Center run by uneducated twats.. Mom, the dutiful ministers wife minds her place... A scary look into what goes on in many "therapy" centers run by churches, staffed by uneducated baboons, under the veil of "Spiritual Leaders".
