A full year after the hype and it still stands up. I can’t think of any other film that makes my face hurt from smiling so hard and it still makes me cry on the 11th viewing. What a film.

AND I WOULD WALK 500 MILES AND I WOULD WALK 500 MORE JUST TO BE THE MAN WHO WALKED  A THOUSAND MILES TO FALL DOWN AT YOUR DOO-OO-OR

I was never going to be able to be objective about this film, the series just means so much to me, more than I could ever properly put into words. Growing up queer in the middle east, I was in constant battle with accepting myself and being able to be proud of who I am in a place that I knew would never accept me. This show was a lifeline for me so many times, it helped me better understand myself and love myself, and growing up with these characters has made me who I am today. This show will Forever hold a special place in my heart, as evidenced by my full snot and tears sobbing for those last twenty minutes. Thank you to all involved for truly changing my life and giving me a safe space in a place where I felt I would never have one.
