one of the most realistic parts of simon’s story is how hesitant he is to call himself gay. even when he’s talking to blue, who’s also gay, he struggles to use that word for himself, and it’s such a great depiction bc so many lgbt people struggle to relate to labels due to the stigma, even tho it accurately describes them. there’s just so many subtle ways this movie proves it gets it, and i’m grateful for every single one.
