The most recent movie on this list, 'Love, Simon' was only released in 2018 but has already made a considerable impact on the LGBT community. The plot sounds like familiar ground; it's another romantic teen-comedy with most of the laughs being at the expense of a closeted boy who doesn't feel ready to come out, but it has a twist.
Nick Robinson's main character is trying to solve a mystery; someone at his school is communicating with him online and has told him that they're in love with him. All he needs to do is track them down. At the same time, someone's trying to blackmail him about his sexuality. Could the same person be responsible for both the affection and the trauma? 'Love Simon' is the first movie by a big Hollywood movie company to have a gay romance as a centerpiece. We're still having 'firsts,' even in this day and age.
