Christmas Coming Out

4.5

Synopsis:

An action figure from a young gay man’s Christmas Past comes to life to help him find the courage he needs to come out.

Quick Thoughts:

I very nearly missed this new gay Christmas short, as it’s only available over at GayBingeTV. But I’m glad I didn’t, because it’s quite charming! Yes, it is another coming out story – but there aren’t many that are set at the holidays. (Nor is there nothing wrong with more, good coming-out films!) Sure, it gets a tad fantastical as we have to believe a toy action figure can come to life (Carnage is quite a sexy soldier!) Yet it’s that whimsical gimmick of motivation from Carnage, along with a more somber push from his boyfriend, that leads to Patrick finally coming out to his parents about being gay – and living with his partner. Of course, they already knew! This just adds that extra oomph of happiness to a cute short film. If you’re looking for something fresh to add to your watch list, I highly recommend giving “Christmas Coming Out” a go.
