Out Late
The Movie-Book Life Review
Rating: ★★★★★
That a great documentary! This documentary chronicales the lives of 5 different LGBT community members that came out after the age of 55. It gives their unique stories and the reasons it took them so long to come out.
In this day and age it is much easier to come out, to live your life as an LGBT member without ever having to pretend to be something you aren't. I can somewhat relate to their stories as growing up in West Texas, which is in the heart of the bible belt, is a difficult place to come out. I didn't face the struggles they did, but I do relate as to the judgement that you will receive and how there will be so many people around that hate you simply because you are gay.
Each person has a unique story of how their life played out, and how they made the decision to come out. One of the things you will take away from this is that it isn't worth hiding who you are for the sake of others. You only get one life down here and it is up to you to make the decision to either live happily as who you really are, or hide it.
Take some time to watch this. It is on Netflix streaming. This is worth a watch and is such a touching film.
Take Care of Yourself,
