Baby Gay

2023 · 9 min

A wry, tender little comedy about late bloomers, funny and a bit cringe-inducing in its awkward self-discovery.

Tagline: Better late than never
Overview: A closeted 30-year-old gets dumped by his first “boyfriend” for not being gay enough and journeys to master his gayness with the help of an outdated self-help book.
How it feels: Light, satirical, warm and melancholic. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, sexuality, coming-of-age, loneliness
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
