Edge of Seventeen
Archive: Gay Themed
Just watched Edge of Seventeen. I think it was the first coming out movie I?’ve seen since I started watching gay movies with Charles. I still felt like I?’d seen many. Likely because I?’ve read it so many times in novels and books. And it used to be one of the first stories two young gay men would share.
I thought Eric?’s story was well and warmly told; couldn?’t help sympathizing and caring for him. And I?’ll admit to being weakened by how he looked in his New Romantic drag (always had a weakness for boys in make-up). It was nice that all the clichés used, say, in Justin?’s (QAF) story: angry father, getting beaten up were skipped. Those things happened to too many people but they don?’t need to be in every coming out story.

I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.
Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.
Thanks, Richard
