In this month’s issue of The Atlantic, I wrote about the proliferatn of gay teens recent, wily seen movi: the h rom- Love, Simon, the buzzy nversn-therapy dramas Boy Erased and The Mistn of Cameron Post, and the Bt Picture nomee Call Me by Your Name and wner Moonlight. The Mistn of Cameron Post and Boy Erased leralize the way that homophobia n rip people away om the tradnal visn of teenagerdom—the backseat make outs, the backwoods keggers—and send them on drab reprogrammg missns which the kids end up policg and punishg themselv.

Last year’s absorbg die drama Beach Rats, for example, portrayed a closeted Brooklyn bro who (spoiler alert) helps his iends mug a guy he meets on a hookup appeal of the lightweight Love, Simon, though, was imagg that a gay kid might fall fortably to a faiar g-of-age groove: ocsnally mortifyg, but never actually trmatic. The 1999 mp edy But I’m a Cheerlear h many of the same story beats as Mistn and Boy Erased as portrayed a young woman sent to nversn therapy, but this churchgog hero got to also vis a gay bar and meet a stable same-sex uple. For all their ser problems, Araki’s irreverent characters lived liv that felt unscripted—which is, perhaps, one of the ter ways to portray growg up gay.
