'When did you come out?' Whether I'm doing a media interview, at a dinner party, or scrolling through social media comments, this question is almost always present. My forever answer, 'I'm always coming out.", is continuously met with the same confused look. In this LGBTQ+ short I spoof the many times I've come out in my life, from checking in to a hotel to find that they have "upgraded" my girlfriend and I to separate rooms to the 80 year old man at my office who always said "quit texting your boyfriend!" when I looked at my phone. I examine how the assumption of heterosexuality in our society requires LGBTQ+ folks to come out, daily, presented in a comedic and satirical light. There is power in laughter

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
