Rereading this heartfelt story of Timothy Conigrave, who grew up in Melbourne Australian during the 70s struggling with being in relationship, & being a gay man at the time. Its also about coming of age & #humanrights & #LoveEquality

Been waiting for this one, though I know I'm going to need all the tissues for it.
pickBeautiful and absorbing details... still so relevant to LGBTI experiences of marginalisation and the often painful coming out to family. A writer that had an important story to tell of his gay love and lifetime partnership- cut short by HIV/AIDS at a time when it was pure terror to have that diagnosis. Strong, brave, honest. The movie is very true to the book too- funny, gritty, reflective and moving.
