This film touched me profoundly. It wasn't a glitzy Hollywood sanitized to make it "family friendly. This wasn’t an LGBTQ++ movie; it’s a story about two boys, Jamie and Ste, who found love and refuge in each other. There's no shame in being a homosexual. I stopped saying gay because it's been appropriated by the "same-gender" crowd.
Beautiful Thing (1996)
"Jamie (Glen Berry) is a teenager who is in love with his classmate, Ste (Scott Neal). Jamie’s single mother, Sandra (Linda Henry), is preoccupied with ambitious plans to run her own pub and has an ever-changing string of lovers; the latest of these is Tony (Ben Daniels), a neo-hippie.
Sandra finds herself at odds with Leah (Tameka Empson), a sassy and rude neighbour who has been expelled from school, takes a variety of drugs, and constantly listens and sings along to her mother’s Cass Elliot records. While Jamie’s homosexuality remains concealed, his introverted nature and dislike of football are reason enough for his classmates to bully him.
Ste, who is living together with his drug-dealing brother and abusive, alcoholic father in the flat next door to Sandra and Jamie's, is beaten by his brother so badly that Sandra takes pity and lets him sleep over one night. In the absence of a third bed, Ste has to make do with sleeping 'top-to-toe' with Jamie. On the second night that they share the bed, the boys change sleeping arrangements, and Jamie kisses Ste for the first time." Sourced from Wiki
