when i saw this tv movie in 1986 i be come out and it really help me at a time when i need help . timothy williams do a convincing job . i felt the drag scene be a bit much . but overall it be a concise drama about come out in a middle class family . i do not feel it be stereotypical a it be a lot to cram into 100 minute on tv . i think of this film every once in a while and and wonder why it not on vhs or dvd . a year before the slightly more superior tv movie about homosexuality ( consent adult ) play on abc and so even then in the 80 be gay be become a topic of the day . this be a good film and and like myself and i hope it help other poor soul out there who be struggle with their own sexual identity .
