Love, Simon is the coming out story America needed to see. Starring Nick Robinson, Alexandra Shipp, Miles Heizer, and '13 Reasons Why' actress Katherine Langford, the coming of age movie Love, Simon portrays a realistic coming out story for the LGBTQ community. Whether you're straight, bisexual, gay, or queer, the Love, Simon cast says everyone can take something away from Love, Simon.
Love, Simon star Nick Robinson and co-star Alexandra Shipp have pride for the coming out story and coming of age movie they worked on. The Love, Simon coming out scene - which basically lasts the entire movie - is just one coming out experience and isn't representative of everyone's experience in the LGBTQ community. And the Love, Simon cast says Love, Simon isn't one of those 'gay movies' - it's so much more.
Love, Simon's main character Simon comes out to his parents, played by Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel, in a tear-inducing coming out scene that is sure to stick with audiences. Here's what Love, Simon stars Nick Robinson and Alexandra Shipp hope audiences take away from Love, Simon.

The thing I love most about this is that fact it shows that he's scared to come out even know he says he knows his family will be fine with it. I was almost cried telling my family despite them all being openly accepting. It's scary for everyone.
Well that and the theatre teacher being amazing and sticking up for Simon and Ethan, because that was definitely my favorite scene-

Thank you.

Wish there were more depictions of supportive parents and positive reactions to their children coming out, I feel like that would set the standard and example of how they ought to respond. Eliminate the "What do I tell my kids" excuse.
