Confronting opposition at home when we come out on the LGBTQ spectrum can be tense and unhappy.  This is especially true with children and teens who still live with conservative family at home.  It can also feel incredibly unsafe.  Boy Erased faces this complex issue.  The interview referenced below is a great read.  The interview is with Gerrard Conley who wrote Boy Erased: A Memoir, based on his own experience.  Joel Edgerton, director of Boy Erased, participates as well.  Take a look!
