But I'm a Cheerleader

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

But I'm a Cheerleader is a 1999 comedy movie about a high school cheerleader, Megan Bloomfield.

Megan who is sent to a reparative therapy camp to become a heterosexual after her friends and family have an "intervention" and tell her she's a lesbian (a fact she realizes and comes to terms with at the camp).

During the film, various activities and therapies are employed to try to change the characters, both male and female, into heterosexuals. During the process, Bloomfield and another attendee, Graham Eaton, fall in love.

But I'm a Cheerleader expresses a critical view of the use of reparative therapy and of the idea that homosexuality is a disorder and that it could be changed.
