Simon may refer to several characters across movies and television. To provide a concise biography, let's consider Simon Spier from the movie Love, Simon (2018), based on the novel "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda."

Simon Spier is a high school student grappling with his sexual identity. He is gay but closeted, fearing how his friends and family will react. He corresponds anonymously online with another closeted gay student, "Blue," and develops strong feelings for him. The film follows Simon's journey of self-discovery and eventual coming out.

Portrayed by actor Nick Robinson, Simon is depicted as a typical teenager: intelligent, kind, and close to his family and friends. His anxieties surrounding his sexuality are relatable, making him a sympathetic and widely appreciated character. He experiences the common teenage struggles of navigating relationships, both romantic and platonic, while simultaneously dealing with the additional challenge of concealing a significant part of his identity.

Ultimately, Simon's story is one of acceptance, courage, and the importance of being true to oneself. He becomes a symbol of hope and visibility for LGBTQ+ youth.
