The night I came out this was the song they played at the end of the Beautiful Thing stage play I was at. Walked into that theatre closeted, walked out ummm out

 

[G-Lexington]

No song really did anything for me. Which is odd, since I listen to music constantly.

This guy helped out, though.

I have Pete. It was the first film I bought after I came out. I used to watch it all the time. I need a new copy of it

Well...I never really needed to be dragged out of the closet...I was only in the closet for maybe five minutes...that is how long it took me from the moment I realized I was gay to the moment I told my whole family...and I was done with it.

A couple songs that I related to coming out....

Hello Its Me...Tood Rundgren...the song reminds me of my 1st boyfriend

...and...David Bowie...Changes...I related it to being gay...

the day i walked into sam the record man and had the courage to bring the 45 single to the counter.

 

[PreTTy PeTe]

Nope, no song.

sorry about that.......from a pianist i excepted something.

music is what we are all about i think

Styx - Mr. Roboto was my favourite song before coming out. "I've got a secret, I've been hiding under my skin" was a line that I particularly related to.

I love this song by Jeff Buckley. It's not about being gay, but the repeating lyric helped coax me into accepting who I am:

No song for me. But a lot of those songs took on a new meaning AFTERWARDS.

Oh God, I had never heard of this film before today. That scene was so sweet, I went to Youtube and watched the whole thing just now. That was adorable. Ste and Jamie are the cutest. (Ste kind of reminded me of actor Josh Hutcherson...) And I loved the mother. Thank you for introducing me to this movie.
