Queer Excellence in Cinema: But I’m a Cheerleader

This pride month we’re popping fresh corn and screening films by queer artists. First up, Jamie Babbit’s But I’m a Cheerleader, the campy sleeper hit of 1999, whose cult appeal has only grown overtime. Made from a femme lesbian perspective, deeply satirizing the church, and featuring an all-star cast of character acotrs including RuPaul, Mink Stole, Bud Cort and Natasha Lyonne in an early lead role. This gay-teens-find-love-in-conversion-therapy is subversive comedy gold!
