Historians at the Movies presents in-person film showing
LCC-Historians at the Movies, in collaboration with Lansing Pride, invites you to a showing of “But I’m a Cheerleader” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, in Dart Auditorium. A Q&A led by LCC History Faculty Wade Merrill and Lansing Pride Vice President Brian Hercliff-Proffer will immediately follow.
Megan is a cheerleader. An all-American girl with a football player boyfriend. But she doesn’t really like kissing him. Her high school locker is filled with pictures of girls. And her parents are worried. They send her to a “sexual redirection” camp which does anything but, ultimately leading to a happy and hopeful ending for Megan. Jamie Babbitt directed this 1999 satire that has become a cult classic. Contains some adult language, suggestive behavior, emotional abuse and attempted conversion therapy.
Historians at the Movies is part of the History Program’s Learning Outside the Classroom programming.
