‘summer storm’ is a great movie, about coming out in Germany. Sexuality is quite natural in Western Europe and this movie portraits it. During the summer Tobi is coming to terms with being gay, among his friends. He experiences disappointment, curiosity, sexuality, friendship and acceptance. In Germany being gay is just that, no big deal, and the movie is quite realistic and natural.

Rock Haven is a sweet and romantic story of two teens falling in love. Although both come out to each other this is not really a coming out film, but rather a movie about a young couple’s struggle with conflicting religious ideals and the exploration of their sexual identity. A film that clearly shows how much our home environment influences our sexual self esteem.

Outing Riley is a coming out movie of a man in his prime to his traditional Irish-Catholic family. Riley represents Joe-average, and is just a nice guy that now has to deal with the issues of his brothers. The movie is not bad at all - from a director that is straight. It has its moments.

This film is a very well written and acted coming out story, about Dorian. He is somewhat awkward, and ready to go to college. His ultra conservative, macho father and his Prozac happy mother do not hear him, or understand him. His brother is everything he is not, but he is the one he will bond with. This is a good movie with a somewhat different angle of dealing with life after coming out.

Did he come out? Well - coming out in the south may not be that easy, and maybe that's the reason he is waiting ... for what??

It's just a title!
