There’s desire and there’s a hunt for identity.
That’s probably why there are so many films that cover the subject: from high school movies to tales of discovery in later life, from passion to awkwardness. It’s never just one moment it’s an ongoing journey. It’s a process that can be terrifying, exhilarating, heartbreaking, confidence-building and all of those combined plus more. Ask anyone who’s done it they’ll all have a coming out story.
