Bomer wrote in an Instagram post Thursday night that he and his husband, Simon Halls, bought tickets for a whole AMC theater audience to see the film on Sunday.

“Love, Simon,” starring Nick Robinson and Katherine Langford, is a gay coming-of-age story about a high school boy trying to figure out how to come out to his parents and friends.

“Please come see @lovesimonmovie in my hometown of Spring, TX for free!” Bomer wrote on Instagram. ”...This is an important movie, and a really good one. I know you’ll love it so come watch for free this Sunday!”

Bomer, 40, bought out the theater for a March 25 showing at 4 p.m.

The actor, a father of three, officially came out in 2012while accepting an honor at the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards for his work against HIV/AIDS.

“One of the ways I learned how to act, really, is by having secrets, and having to function as a kid in a public school in suburban Bible Belt Texas,” Bomer, who grew up in rural Missouri, told OUT Magazine inMay. ”... I did learn how to protect myself — it was literally acting of the highest stakes. I had my brother to protect me, but as terrible as it may sound, it was a way I learned to select behavior and make choices, even if it was a ruse just to survive, you know?”

Bomer said that once he realized as a teenager he was gay, he knew telling his parents and friends would be hard.

“Telling your family is a huge, huge deal. I really view my life as divided between the time before I told my parents, and the time after,” he said. “And the decisions I made, and the life I lived, before and after, are vastly different. It’s night and day.”
