Here are more gay tv series, films and movies about Coming Out...
Eyewitness / Øyevitne
Here is the trailer for a brilliant new Norwegian crime thriller series,
made for TV. Two young men are having their first same sex sexual
experience in a remote cabin at a sand mine when they are
interrupted by a bikie-gang assassination. They are the only
eyewitnesses to the killings but must keep a pact of silence for fear
their own secret will be discovered. Mainstream television has come a long way in Norway and the rest of Europe for 'coming out' to be
such a central theme. The sexuality topic is handled
with pride and respect. You might even find you can see the whole series on Youtube if you are lucky! (2014)From Germany:
Summer Storm (aka 'Sommersturm')
Two best friends in a rowing squad have to work out their differences when one of them begins to realise he is gay.
A soccer crazy small town boy is pushed out of his team for being gay and decides to get the ultimate revenge... a gay football team! (2004)
From Israel:
An Israel intelligence agent is sent to befriend the grandchildren of a former Nazi SS officer. Suspense and a surprising gay sub plot. Don't ever assume someone's sexuality! Yet another way to come out. The Youtube clip here is not the trailer but a short scene from the film. (2004)
From Spain:
Summer holidays and Dani and Nico get physical. Dani wants more but Nico has other things on his mind. Girls.(2000)
From Sweden:
Attracted to her best friend at school, Elin has to decide between popularity and love. What will she choose? (1998)
'När Alla Vet' (aka 'Sebastian')
A
coming out film that viewers either love or hate. We loved it. If you
put aside your expectations of how Coming Out 'should be' represented
on film and just enjoy the story, you will love it too. Sebastian is 16
and trying to understand his feelings for his best friend, the
beautiful Ulf. The sub-plot of falling in love with a best friend is
probably more important to the film than the coming out storyline.
Unfortunately we have been unable to find a trailer online but you can
buy the film and make up your own mind. The Swedish title translates
roughly to "When Everybody Knows".(1995) Buy it from Amazon.
