“Absolutely love the movie Love, Simon for being a powerful modern coming-of-age story focusing on a gay male’s personal journey of coming out and navigating what comes next. Also, really enjoyed the diversity featured in the film, both same-sex and opposite sex couples. It was moving to see how supportive the main character’s friends and family were with him coming out while posing the question as to why only gay people have to come out.” -Justin J.

"While tragic, it was also inspiring to see the homophobic lawyer begin to care, protect and love his gay client. I cried so hard at the end..." -Kathleen D.

"An excellent, timeless documentary. I belonged to a lesbian student group in college and we all carpooled to LA to see this film, then went out dancing afterward. A memorable night." -Lynne K.
