To round out Pride Month we picked a couple of our favorite movies about growing up gay and feature a special guest, our friend Erin! Our first pick was one we've been itching to cover on the podcast. Berry Jenkins' Moonlight is one of the most significant queer films of this century and we discuss why that is. Then we jump to the YA book-based Love, Simon. This sweet, endearing teen dramedy has great moments of highlighting the strange differences between growing up heterosexual and queer. Yaaaas Queen.
