'Love, Simon' Deleted Scene Features Colton Haynes as a Clubgoer Hitting on Simon | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it
For all of the ground that the hit film Love, Simon broke, there was one aspect of modern queerness that fans wanted to see represented in the film: gay nightlife. While the film tackles the issues of coming out to your friends and family, very little time is spent showing what Simon’s life was like as an out gay teenager.

It took decades for Josiah Wise to find his voice. This is figuratively true for most developing adults, but for Wise, who performs music under the name serpentwithfeet, it was also literal. The distinct, shivering vibrato he sings with—so strong it sounds like his larynx is seizing almost every time he opens his mouth—was always there, even back when he joined the choir of his family’s Pentecostal church at age 6. But when he began formal training at age 11, in his mostly white, boy choir, his teacher urged him to sing in what’s called pure tone, effectively stifling his vibrato.
