I LOVE GAY 90’S Film Series: BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER

June 13 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free
A still from the film "But I'm a Cheerleader." Two people wearing pink are pictured against a pink wall.

Director: Jamie Babbit
Cast: Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, Ru Paul, Cathy Moriarty

Megan is happily making her way through high school as a cheerleader who’s dating a football player. However, she secretly doesn’t enjoy making out with her boyfriend that much, preferring instead to check out her female peers on the cheerleading squad. Also, her religious parents have noticed Megan’s predilection for eating only vegetables and listening to Melissa Ethridge, which they take to be big red flags that Megan is really a lesbian. As a result, they stage an intervention and send Megan away to a “conversion therapy” camp where the program has the opposite effect – Megan ultimately embraces her lesbianism and falls in love with another camper.

Natasha Lyonne stars alongside Clea DuVall, Ru Paul, and Cathy Moriarty in this charming and satirical teen cult film directed by Jamie Babbit.
