The outline of the story is nothing more than an American high school boy who started his coming out process because of an anonymous and public outing email, and finally has a lover who ends up getting married. The plot is actually very simple, but some points really hit me: Simon, who has been in the closet for more than ten years, came out as his best friend for the first time, and what he got was not I hate you but I love you too; After being forced by classmates to come out in the small town "Post Bar" and being seen by my sister, my sister's first reaction was how should I help my brother; I summoned the courage to come out with my parents at Christmas, and my parents were very open-minded to accept it in the end. All this; and when Simon, who finally plucked up the courage to come out to everyone, used his persistence to finally find the Blue he loved... But it seems too idealistic that all this can happen at the same time.
To me being gay is nothing more than that every night in my dreams it's a girl instead of a boy. I remember half-jokingly and asking my parents what they thought if they only liked girls, and they told me seriously at the time: If that's the case, we don't have you as a child. Until now, I can't face the specific meaning of this sentence, because I know that as an only child, coming out of the closet seems to be a problem for my family born in a less enlightened society. impossible event. I'm not cruel enough, I can't make my parents feel bad because of me, I can't make them suffer from other people's eyes because I'm different from most people in this so-called new society, I don't want to put pressure on them, and I don't want to give myself burden.
In fact, there are friends who have come out around them, and a large part of their lives seems to be unaffected: good friends have not left, and their parents who loved them have not overreacted. They are successful.
Honestly, I envy Simon, and I envy my friends who have come out for their courage and luck. I don't know if I have luck, but I know I lack a lot of courage.
Hopefully one day I can take that step like Simon.
