yourself is hard, which is part of why so many people don’t end up coming into their queerness until they’re fully grown adults.

Hi, it’s me, I’m so many people.I didn’t come out until I was 26 years old. In some ways, I feel like I lucked out: I avoided lots of scary experiences, like coming out to my parents at a time when I was dependent on them, or having to be The Gay One at school.But I also missed out on what it might’ve been like to be young, out, and free: to crush openly on my classmates, to share my first kiss with a girl, or to experiment with queer fashion at a respectable age.Enter queer rom-coms, specifically teen queer rom-coms.
