Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })But I'm a Cheerleader is a 1999 comedy (although it wasn't theatrically released until 2000) lampooning the idea of homosexual reform camps with the story of Megan, a God-fearing cheerleader who has never paid her homosexual tendencies any thought until being sent to the True Directions camp. While there, she admits the homosexuality that everyone but her had apparently seen, and falls in love with another of the True Directions members, Graham.The film carved out an unusual niche for itself as what many have identified as a Lighter and Softer version of a John Waters film, combining high camp, dark political comedy and good-natured romanticism under one improbably broad yet tantalizingly candy-colored roof.Not to be confused with But I'm a Cat Person. | |

But I'm a Cheerleader / int_67013b78 | comment |
Aluminum Christmas Trees: The film exaggerates somewhat the tactics used by True Directions, but some viewers may be shocked at how similar they are to actual conversion therapy programs—mostly in the use of aversion therapy (like electroshock) and trying to make LGBT people act in more gender conforming ways. Historically, these programs were even worse than what we see here. Methods including aversion therapy, lobotomies, nausea-inducing drugs, and chemical castration were used to "cure" a person of their non-straight tendencies. Nowadays, most conversion programs in the United States stick with therapy, psychoanalysis, and (if the program is religion-oriented) prayer, though on occasion you'll hear reports of a (usually unlicensed) camp reverting to the old methods or employing full-on torture to get results. | |

Abusive Parents: Graham's are the emotionally uncaring, neglectful type. They're also abusive in threatening to cut her off unless she becomes straight. | |

Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: At first, Graham seems to fit this trope to a T - a Deadpan Snarker, cynical brunette. As the plot and the character develops, Graham softens up. | |
