This was the most impressive movie I had ever seen in my lifetime. As a young teenager, I fell in love with a gay man. I did not know he was gay until later (4yrs) into our 'fun' relationship. After all was said and done, I will still love him till I die. I eventually married a straight man. When I was divorced, we still hung around together all the time. He would tell me time and time again that he loved me and that I will always be his best friend, but it wouldn't be fair to marry me. Of course, still being naive' I couldn't really understand. When I was in my twenties, this movie came out. He called and said, "get your pants on, we're going to the movies!" I agreed. We got into the theater and he said, "You need to really pay attention to this movie. This is why I did not, will never and can not every marry you. I love you way too much to hurt you in this way. It wouldn't be fair to either of us. Well, I swallowed every word and every action in that movie and when it was over, I cried. I cried like a baby. I now knew all of it. I knew what he was struggling with in front of me (and his parents, siblings and classmates) all the time. I figured out he wasn't teasing me when he'd tell me that some guy had a nice backside. He was for real. I am so happy he took me to see Making Love. Well, he has since passed away and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I still love him for who he was and I always will. Excellent movie!
