I came out as bi to my mother when I was 18, even though I'd known for 6 years already. I just went out one day and started crying, tired of hiding who I really was, told my homophobic best friend first, and then went back home and told Mom. It was a weight off my back of course, but it was so hard to say! I'm 22 now, and I didn't tell my dad until 2 weeks ago.
I was still afraid to come out to him, I always thought that his reaction would be totally different, and we wouldn't be the same again to each other.
The funny part of this story, and maybe different from everyone else's, I wasn't going to tell him because I kept thinking I would never fall in love of a guy. How wrong was I. 1 month I've been dating this guy, and all of the sudden I realize we were in love, and it was then when I thought it was time to tell Dad. The only thing he was mad about was because of the fact that mom knew it ever since I was 18 and I didn't tell him until now. Everything is much better now, and almost everyone in my family knows, and nothing has changed. I can be myself, and live my life.

I know how hard it can be in certain cases, that's why I don't always encourage people to come out. Each family is a different story, but tease them, ask them what they think about LGBT, look for clues or reactions from them when watching TV or something, and then if you feel safe to do so, go ahead and tell them.
Only one thing you have to keep in mind; it's YOUR life.... Stop pleasing everyone else by pretending to be someone you aren't, and start living YOUR life. Life is short, and it makes no sense suffering for things like this.

"do you ever shut the hell up?" that's me

*The little sister is my spirit animal and hero all at the same time.*

Dad:”You got somebody pregnant”
Me: Nope pretty much the exact opposite.

Nick plays this scene SO WELL. Looking down, the voice, EVERYTHING. It felt like I was watching myself when I did it.

It’s scary how similar this situation was to my own. I was a literal mess in the theatres when I saw this. But so was everyone else.

Everything about this scene just gets me. The way he swallows and pauses before he starts talking, his nervous sighs, his weak chuckle when his dad starts interrupting him with jokes, how he pauses again before he actually says it and especially the way he stutters when he says it. His voice almost breaks and he can't keep eye contact and all of it is just so realistic. You can practically feel the anxiety (or at least I can but maybe that's just because I'm bi) and you can tell that it's almost physically difficult for him to get the words out even though he knows his family is supporting. I just love everything about this scene so much, it really conveys the emotions of coming out super well.

Let’s be honest we all wish we had a sibling like Nora 😂

[gregory]

Jennifer Garner plays this scene as the mother perfectly. It all starts as smiles and joking, but the subtle changes to her face at 0:15 when she realizes his anxiousness of what he's about to say.

This scene is quite sad. The way he looks down, when he tells his parents he's gay. Almost like he's ashamed of himself. Sexuality is something you should never be ashamed of.
But great acting by Nick Robinson!

[aldomartin]

Nick Robinson does the best job I’ve ever seen of an actor portraying the act of coming out.

[grenadewormofficial]

I think every single actor in this scene knocked it out of the park.

The actor playing Simon - acting as if he's ashamed of being gay and coming out to his family, being nervous and looking down.

The mother - just patiently accepting his coming out but remaining silent as to hear more of Simon revealing himself

The sister - telling the dad to shut up because it's a serious moment that can impact Simon's entire life

The father - HE'S NOT UPSET OR ASHAMED OF SIMON!!! People keep saying that. He's ashamed of himself for not knowing that his only son was gay. It's a father thing that I can't explain. I have 2 sons, and the bond between a father and a son is immeasurable. You feel like you know what they are thinking, feeling, doing, etc. As they are a part of you. So by him reacting with jokes and smart remarks wasn't too shame Simon or be an asshole... it was to keep the spotlight on Simon to hide his guilt for never knowing that his son was gay. He felt like he was a bad father. The fact that the actor captures this emotionality behind this scenario is truly great acting.

I read the book and it was so beautiful it made me so sad when the book ended that I almost cried..

Nick's acting is *so convincing!!*

[joshrealms]

What have we learned today? Nora is everyone’s dream sister.

[keannafricks]

The stutter before he says I’m gay is so pure, nick is such a good actor

[budgetbrandflour]

oh man i remember sobbing in the movies with off brand pringles stuffed in my mouth during this scene

[juliaearle]

Simon was so brave here.

I wasn't brave enough to tell my parents in person. And Simon actually inspired me to tell my friends in person.

[captainamerica]

This is one of the scenes that made me tear up. I wish I could get more of these characters. Like in a mini series. They’re all so loveable (including his friends and the some of the other students).

[megamanm]

When I came out, my parents just shrugged and said "Ok".

I love my parents.

[dyteriaswinson]

Not gay but i wanna see this movie get a perks of being a wallflower & The DUFF feeling.😄😄 I love coming of age teen movies.
