In & Out (1997)

It is hard to deny what you are. At the same time, it is nobody’s business but your own. How do you cope with events when someone finally says something that most folks have been thinking but are too polite to voice? That is the conundrum facing Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline). He doesn’t think he is but he hasn’t thought much about it while he hasn’t been able to evade all of the stereotypes that most people associate with being gay—his love of show tunes, his theatrical mannerisms and his waiting until his wedding to sleep with his fiancee. And then there is his attempt to absorb the rules on a motivational tape, “Be a Man,” while compulsively and frantically cleaning house to the music of ABBA.
