Anything where older queer people support/guide or simply create a feeling of solidarity for younger queer people discovering themselves? A few examples I can think of off the top of my head would be Shimanami Tasogare (which is great btw, highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it), that café owner and Sayaka in Bloom Into You or even the school nurse and Shiki in 14-sai no Koi.
Supportive (presumably) non-queer family members are cool too. For example, the uncle in The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All, Yuu's sister in Bloom Into You (god, I love her so much), or Tong Tong's mum in That Time I was Blackmailed By the Class's Green Tea Bitch.
Also, any stories that involve coming out to family or friends? No matter whether it's taken well or not in this case.
Manga/manhwa/manhua/webtoons are all welcome. Novels (and maybe even movies?) too. My preference would be stories with wlw, but anything else is welcome as well.
Mom, I'm Gay
Uchi no Musuko wa Tabun Gay, I had so much fun reading this one.
Pan Focus, I don't remember if there was a coming out plot in this one but the story was about coming to term with you sexuality or something like that.
There are also the Legend of Korra comics.
Heartstopper (the comics) is all about coming out, at least the first volume.
There's "Love, Simon", a mlm movie.
The mom in "Crush" (2022) on Hulu is like super supportive to her daughter.
"Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga" on Netflix is a lesbian Bollywood movie where coming out is one of the main plot.
