We saw History Boys last night, and much as I loved it (and not to spoil it for you all), it reminded me of too many gay YA novels from the 1970s. See Michael Cart and Christine Jenkins' new book for details.
On a different note, you know at one stage I thought the underlining theme for the story "Outsiders" was about homosexuality. Don't know why, guess because it was about a whole lot of boys.
Back on track History Boys sounds interesting enough, will have to check further.
