''Trevor'' is a 1994 short film directed by Peggy Rajski.

Trevor is a boy in his early teens living somewhere in suburbia in 1981. Trevor's once-normal life starts to change when puberty hits and he begins figuring out that he's different from other boys. He likes ballet, the theater, and Music/DianaRoss songs. He's not particularly interested in girls, but he really likes hanging out with his friend Pinky, who's a jock.

Trevor realizes that he's gay. When everyone else finds out that he's gay, Trevor is ostracized. Despairing, Trevor starts contemplating suicide.

Creator/StephenTobolowsky plays Father Joe, the priest who gives Trevor a deeply uncomfortable talk about sexuality.

[[https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ The Trevor Project]], a LGBT non-profit that specializes in helping LGBT youth was inspired by the film and got its name from the film.
