It's supposed to be natural.

Really Like the part near the end when Alex and Claire talk in the car. Coming out is not going to be easy even today as long as people still feel the necessity to come out as gay or lesbian. Yes, it may come clear about being oneself. But gay or lesbian are people, people who have their loved ones. What if their loved ones don't think the way they do? Alex loves his girlfriend Claire as well as so many other friends and families. He's afraid of losing her as well as these so many others. Growing up knowing and feeling who you truly are is supposed to be a process that couldn't be more natural. But it's the education, the talk, the tradition, the many thoughts and'this is what people do, what people always do, what most people do' that makes it unnatural.

Like by so many other LGBT+ movies, one warning that this film tries to give is that stop caring people's feeling as you think you are, but sometimes you are not; instead you are just drowning people's objective world with your subjective ideas.

Alex Strangelove quotes

  • Elliot: And the shitty thing is, guys like my dad, they're giving Jesus a bad name, okay? Because from all that I know, Jesus was amazing. I mean, I don't know, he helped out the poor and sick, okay, he loves you unconditionally...

    [Alex says yes with his head]

    Elliot: I just think all those kids with their WWJD wristbands need to ask themselves: What would Jesus actually do? Call me a "faggot loser"?

    Alex: Did your dad call you that?

    Elliot: It's not really worth getting into.

  • Helen: Being angry is an exhausting way to spend your day.
