Not only that, his parents find out that he's gay and are not accepting. Dealing with parental rejection and his unresolved feelings for Kevin, Russel has to make a decision between boys and standing up to her parents.In Bride of the Soul-Sucking Brain Zombies, Min is feeling lonely after her summer romance crashed and burned. But during the audition, a new girl catches her eye. She seems perfect on the outside, but she's hiding some secrets from Min. Not only that, Min wants to protect Russel from getting his heart broken by Kevin again, no matter what it takes.This page contains spoilers for both Geography Club and The Order of the Poison Oak.

Lipstick Lesbian: Leah, who is a former cheerleader is blonde and leggy, and very feminine. So much so that she started to dress more alternatively in order to attract girls due to her not fitting the stereotype.

Gay Cruising: In Rusty's half, Rusty thinks Kevin is cruising in the park when Rusty goes to meet up with him. Rusty is put off, which contributes to his decision to be done with Kevin for good. In reality, Kevin wasn't cruising and wanted to finally commit to Rusty but was warned off by his friend, Min.

Gayngst: A stable of the series. Russel's parents find out that he's gay and they (well, more like his mother) are not accepting at all, and even force Russel to speak to their priest about his sexuality. Kevin finally comes out and not all of his friends are accepting, and it's indicated he got into a physical fight with one. Also, Leah is closeted and does not want to come out while in high school. In contrast, Min's mother is accepting of her bisexuality.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Min convinces Kevin to stop pursuing Russel so Russel's relationship with Otto can survive. When Russel meets up with Kevin later, Kevin purposefully acts like a jerkass to upset Russel into leaving him alone.

comment
Soapbox Sadie: Min works to overcome the negatives of the trope, having a set of rigid standards as well as pre-judging people due to the social cliques that they're in. Such as judging Leah's friends as airheaded because they're cheerleaders and Kevin's attempts of wooing Russel as a "jock" thing. She even thinks Leah is lying to herself and being dishonest by not coming out.

comment
Cure Your Gays: Russel's parents "ask" (read: force) Russel to speak with Father Franklin, a priest about being gay in hopes that the Father can start to change his mind. It, of course, doesn't work and Russel brings up the Fridge Logic of scripture being used against gay people.

Connected All Along: Both Russel and Min do things in their stories that influence the other, namely, Russel inadvertently drives Min and Leah closer together and Min influences Otto to be patient with Russel and tells Kevin to let Russel go, you have to read both stories to get the full picture.
