My girlfriend, who has been out for 20-30 years to a lot of people but not everyone, is currently watching "Out Late" on Netflix (at her house). I probably going to watch it after my daughter goes to bed. It's about 5 people who came out in their 50s or older. One was 79. Seems relevant to this crowd! Has anyone seen it?
Yes. Watched it when I first got Netflix. Interesting and, in some ways, very sad. I appreciated the honesty of these people.
Ive seen it. I liked it. Really interesting to watch. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this sort of thing. Hopefully people marrying someone because they feel its expected will be a thing of the past one day.
I watched it and really enjoyed it. The message was clear: it's not too late. They all felt so much better after coming out.
I am so glad people are starting to talk more about coming out. I really do hope that Lilli is right and more of these sorts of documentaries are going to be coming out. I know to be cautious however it does feel like we are turning a corner.
Did not watch it because I don't have Netflix yet but have seen other, more local documentaries about gay couples and found it very helpful. Do you know if I can watch the program even if I am in Europe? Maybe some reason for finally getting Netflix? :icon_wink
I live in South Africa so I do not have access to Netflix. Can anybody recommend good coming out movies involving guys previously married?
This film follows 5 people. 1 man was married to a woman for 47 years and came out after she died. 1 man came out at 55 or 60 after having the occasional same sex encounter (and no relationships with women). 1 woman came out after her long time husband died. One woman came out to others after living with her lesbian partner for 20 years. And the fifth came out as a trans*woman after having lived as a man (and being married to a woman, I think, but can't remember).
