The little moments of Love, Simon that mean more to LGBTQ+ people than straight people realize:
- Not being able to say you’re gay out loud right away, even to yourself
- Coming out in a car. Why do we all do this?!?
- That deep breath and inability to look someone in the eye the first time you say it
- The awkwardness after coming out, even to a completely supportive family. Things aren’t bad, they’re just weird for awhile
- Having a crush on literally anyone who looks at you longer than three seconds or who gives any inclination that they may be gay
- Spending literally all day thinking about the fact that you’re gay
- Trying out ‘dressing gay’
- Coming out to someone who knows you less before you come out to the Important People in your life
- Being completely oblivious to straight people hitting on you, cause you’re just not looking for it
- Not knowing how to talk about people being attractive, not because you don’t want to, but because you’ve never done it before
