Boy meets boy. Boy likes boy. Boy, oh, boy. (taglines)

Steven Carter

 * I'm sick of feelin' totally alone. I want to have friends who like me for who I am. I want to have a family who loves me for who I am and not for someone I pretend to be to keep their love! I'm sick of hiding... of being sad and... scared.
 * It's only love. Why's everyone so scared of?

Others

 * Jessica: I was right about one thing: you're different from other blokes.
 * Kevin: Am I right with it, Carter? You really are a queer!
 * Steven's Mother: He's my son and I'm very proud of him. And if you do something to hurt him, I'll have your bollocks for earrings.

Dialogue

 * Mark: So you're in the school magazine this year.
 * Wendy: Well, I am the school magazine. No one else can be fucked.
 * Mark: I can be fu— I'd like to help.


 * Mark: We want the magazine to be more radical, right? And what could be more radical than a gay story?
 * Jessica: It is not a gay story. It's a pervert story.
 * Kevin: What's the difference?
 * Wendy: You're not gay, you're a pervert.


 * Steven's Father: But all that stuff of this town having nothing for someone of your age — I thought you really catched how a young person sees life.
 * Steven: Life? What d'you know about my life?


 * Steven: John Dixon and me... We're lovers.
 * Linda: In your dreams.


 * John: I like her. I really like her.
 * Steven: Do you... do you love her?
 * John: Steven... I love you.
