Film Discussion: But I’m a Cheerleader

Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is a teenager passionate about cheerleading. However her conservative parents suspect she is more interested in the other girls on the team, despite the fact she has a boyfriend – albeit one she refuses to be intimate with. Filled with horror at the thought of having a lesbian daughter, her straight-laced parents (Mink Stole and Bud Cort) ship her off to a summer school that aims to turn kids straight. Determined to get back the summer of fun she had planned, she decides to go along with the camp’s rules, that is until she meets the beautiful Graham (Clea DuVall) and finds herself questioning her sexuality for the first time.
