Gender Satire in "But I'm a Cheerleader"
01/20/2020 11:15 AM
Mari was kind enough to find a great clip from the 2000 film But I'm A Cheerleader, which is a satirical look at the supposed impossibility of being both lesbian and a cheerleader. The main character is forced into a camp to teach her not to be gay, but the counselors are played by RuPaul and Cathy Moriarty. The whole film is just packed with puns, visual jokes, and double entendres. This Film Is Not Yet Rated, a documentary we will watch later this semester, refers back to this film.
