There, Megan falls for resident bad girl Graham (Clea DuVall in the role that squarely landed her on queer girls' radars). John Waters acolyte Mink Stole costars with Harold and Maude’s Bud Cort as Megan’s parents, who, troubled by her Melissa Etheridge poster and general disinterest in boys, send her off to True Directions, where the girls wear Pepto-Bismol pink and do a deep dive into domesticity while the powder-blue-clad boys learn to chop wood (as it were). But out director Jamie Babbit’s satirical But I’m a Cheerleader, in which Orange Is the New Black’s Natasha Lyonne plays Megan, a lesbian cheerleader sent to a conversion therapy camp run by the very campy Cathy Moriarty and RuPaul (of all people), has been the gold standard of 'ex-gay' movies for decades.
2018 served up two conversion therapy dramas - Boy Erased and The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
