Gay people never get tired of telling their coming out stories.

And often, it is other gay people who want to hear it. We never tire of listening for how others came out and through the process. Straights are curious but not really into it. I understand that. I don't want to hear about their sexual awakenings either.

The series of the same name

Coming Out: First Season (2013)

was today's "film".

It is made in Montreal and hence needs the subtitles. There are a lot of good films rising out of French speaking Canada and this series is exemplary. You would not see something like this in the States. I think. But then, what do I know about teevee in the US?

There are a lot of characters but the continuity is solid enough that we do not get lost. And they do not do a lot of the aggravating "in the previous episode" shit.

It helps that the episodes are only ten minutes long. It takes maybe 130 minutes to see the entire season.

The other thing about this series is that it has explicit sex, gay sex, which is not on offer here. Leave it to the French.

I liked it very much and will see the second season soon. Maybe even tomorrow.

Incidentally, there is a German film of the same name which we just watched. An unusual duplication in the film business which doesn't like to repeat its names. Perhaps a language issue.
