the thing that makes love, simon so relateable is that it’s full of little things only Gays will understand, like martin not knowing ths lyrics of bad romance or coming out in a car or the things simon’s mom said. the thing about this movie is that unlike others, its goal is to reach gay people’s heart specifically and not everyone’s and that’s why we love it so much. the things simon’s mom said are not ones cishet people will understand because they have not gone through this experience, and the facts are that gays are crying during this scene because it hits us right when it should. simon coming out in a car makes it so much more relateable since we have gone through the exact same experience. “my brother is gay” is amazing to hear because we, more than everyone, know how stupid this sounds like. having a crush on every person who shows us some human decency is a honestly a Big Gay Mood. it’s targeted to us and that’s why we love it so much.
