'LOVE, SIMON' IS A GOTDAMN LIGHTFUL ROM, AND 'S GAY AS HELL

Shrk at the Movi: Lovg “Love, Simon” om a Gay Men’s Mental Health Perspective. In my work as a licensed psychotherapist and life/bs ach specializg gay men and therapy for gay male upl for over 26 years, I blog equently on topics on LGBTQ+ mental health general, and gay men’s therapy particular, as the founr and director of GayTherapyLA, seeg clients my office Los Angel (Wt Hollywood) but also via phone or webm to gay male clients for therapy or achg California, all over the untry, or the world. “Love, Simon” chang that – and ’s a bellwether tt of whether mastream movi wh lead gay characters n “make ” the mastream Hollywood mercial film market.

At the (long) ncsn stand l, there was a mix of teens, olr adults, straight and gay patrons (many wh enuragg – and hot – public displays of affectn), gog to all the movi of the multiplex, but many streamg om the ncsn le to the dorium (the ma, largt one of the plex) where “Love, Simon” was butg. While “Brokeback Mounta” certaly broke ground as another mastream, big-stud, highly-publicized movie wh gay them and well-known stars, still had a b of the stigma that gay characters have had film history for a very long time – eher beg the butt of jok many s, or the “tragic figur” who end up ad or alone or unhappy due to circumstanc (as [SPOILER] “Brokeback Mounta” do). One of the many thgs that’s groundbreakg about “Love, Simon” is that ’s not tragic nor lghg at the gay characters; we are sympathetic wh them, whether ’s the genr-nformg gay Simon, or the genr non-nformg gay (man of lor) Ethan.

His character beg 17 but the actor beg 22 keeps om beg creepy for an olr gay man like me (and so many others that dience) who I’m sure found Robson nsistently charmg and cute a certa PG-13 sexs that so many teen romanc have (anyone remember the hottie “Sixteen Candl”? Our empathy wh Nick-as-Simon marks a far cry om the days of Frankl Pangborn, Edward Everett Horton, and Clifton Webb playg gay (or wk-and-nod gay) characters that as dienc we liked but always seemed to lgh “at”, not “wh”, even to some extent Nathan Lane a film as recent as “The Birdge”, or s French precsor, “La Cage x Foll”. We’re also a far cry, the history of film, om the days of tragic or sry gay characters as “Cisg”, “Silence of the Lambs”, “The Children’s Hour” (lbian-themed), and so many others (each of those films had protts for s negative portrayals of LGBT characters).

Nick Robson, his Type-O, broad likeabily factor, mak film history by blowg past all of those (even classic) gay characters and danc (kda badly, one fantasy sequence, breakg the stereotype of gay men as good dancers) to his own place as a “new kd of gay” character, the Teen Romantic Lead.
