Latter Days

“Latter Days” is one of my go-to queer films – and is among some of the first queer films I recall watching as I was discovering my sexuality. While I was raised Catholic instead of Mormon, there is something about “Latter Days” that hit close to home because I myself struggled with religious homophobia against my own sexuality. Seeing that story unfold in this queer drama helped me and is something that many of us can relate to ourselves. Is it a perfect film? Nope. It has some issues, including cliche stereotypes and some questionable acting. However, there are some scenes that cause you to overlook those issues. And the overall message at the heart of this queer drama is one that I fully stand behind. If you have not yet seen this queer classic drama, what are you waiting for?
