Queer Coming of Age Film Genre

This book argues for the existence of the Queer Coming of Age genre, in which films reveal the unique challenges experienced by queer people during this time of their lives, positing that these films are driven by a political undercurrent advocating for queer acceptance and that they provide guidance for queer people to understand their own lives.
