But I’m a Cheerleader Then & Now 💗
Released in 1999, But I’m a Cheerleader became a cult classic for its bold mix of satire, camp, romance, and social commentary. Directed by Jamie Babbit, the film follows Megan, a high school cheerleader whose family sends her to a conversion therapy camp after suspecting she is gay.
With its bright colors, exaggerated gender roles, and playful visual style, the movie turns a serious subject into a sharp critique of conformity, sexuality, and the pressure to fit into society’s expectations. Over the years, it has become especially beloved in queer cinema for its humor, heart, and unapologetically unique tone.
Starring Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, RuPaul, Cathy Moriarty, Melanie Lynskey, Dante Basco, and more, But I’m a Cheerleader remains one of the most memorable LGBTQ+ films of its era.
