    • Quotes

      John: Hey, Harper not coming out to her parents has nothing to do with you.

      Abby: How could it not?

      John: Remind me, what did your parents say when you told them you were gay?

      Abby: Um, that they loved and supported me.

      John: That's amazing! My dad kicked me out of the house and didn't talk to me for 13 years after I told him. Everybody's story is different. There's your version and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words. When your heart is racing and you don't know what's coming next. That moment's really terrifying! And once you say those words, you can't un-say them. A chapter has ended, and a new one's begun. You have to be ready for that. You can't do it for anyone else.

      [pauses]

      John: Just because Harper isn't ready doesn't mean she never will be, and it doesn't mean she doesn't love you.

    Everybody's Story is Different...
    The far too often shallow facade and deceit of meeting traditional and expired conservative expectations played out in a cinematic seasonal pantomime (oh no it isn't; watch it and find out!). Primarily preaching to the converted, it reminds us why individualism is the foundation of us all. Could have been the best Christmas film ever if the father had come out as a cross dresser and the mother as a habitual piercer but you should always leave room for improvement and any improvement in the views of some is always well and truly welcome.
