And 18-year-old Jade tweeted that it was only when she saw Love, Simon with her mum that she received the acceptance she had first asked for four years ago.

She wrote that “in 2014 I came out to my mum as bisexual, & she told me she would never look at me the same.”

“I cried in the bathroom for 6 hours & my entire family ignored me for days. I was called disgusting & my dad told me I’d ‘get over it eventually’, my mum tried to force me to be straight.”

Jade continued: “in 2016 I told my mum I had a crush on a girl, we cried in a parking lot & she told me she wasn’t okay with it, I asked the girl out anyways.

“In 2017 I flew over 4000 miles to meet this girl as we celebrated being together for over a year, we had our first kiss: on a ferris wheel.”

If those pictures don’t make you smile, you may be dead inside.
