    did I force my family into watching a shaky theater recording post-Beyoncé Bowl? maybe. did they love it all the same? unconditionally.

    I don’t know if the film knew what type of movie it wanted to be for the first half, but it really landed the (admittedly heavy-handed) message of our performances in life and how they conceal our real selves. Queerness is so, so beautiful, and it sucks that internalized homophobia gets in the way of that.
