I am a rather stoic, and pragmatically (some say robotic) gay man.
That said, I don't often pursue entertainment in the LGBT+ genre, nor do I overly care to discuss or emote about the rather astounding difficulties that come with growing up gay, especially for a boy. This is the cold and logical side of me.
The other, far more neglected emotionally-attuned side, cried his eyes out watching this.
I cannot overstate how familiar yet uncomfortable I felt while watching everything transpire between these two vulnerable and wonderful characters. I wanted to shout advice, and scream criticisms over things I have seen others, and myself, make mistakes with before.
Somehow, the creator managed to encapsulate a small but absolutely authentic microcosm of growing up gay, and for that I will always be eternally grateful.
To creator Alex Myung, I just want to say thank you. Period, full stop.
Thank you.
