My Son Is Gay is a 2017 Tamil independent drama written and directed by Lokesh Kumar. Anupama Kumar plays a single mother whose world is built around her son, played by Ashwinjith; when she discovers he is gay, her shock, her fear of what relatives and neighbours will say and her love for him pull in different directions. The film is quiet and conversational, focused on the mother rather than on melodrama, and it was one of the few Tamil films of its time to put a gay character and his family at the centre of the story. It travelled to LGBTQ film festivals before its wider release.
