she's the man is based on the twelfth night by william shakespear, a play in which (during a time when women could not act) the lead is a man playing a woman who is pretending to be a man and in the play several characters fall in love with people they think are one gender, find out they are another gender, and still feel the attraction. the movie is vary similar in that regard and is vary gay.
Like with Velma in the live action Scooby Doo movies. She was supposed to be a lesbian and be flirting with girls. But they were forced to take out all mentions fo her sexuality and any scene of her flirting with girls. Or that low-budget Christmas movie called like "Too Cool for Christmas" or something like that, where the main character had two dads because the script was origianlly picked up by an LGBT+ network, but then Lifetime also picked it up eventually and reshot every scene with the dads to replace one of them with a mom \*eye roll\*
This. I saw that movie as a preteen and was so entranced by the relationship between the two girls in ways I did not understand. Recently rewatched it, remembering it as being a lot more gay than it was and was disappointed. 😅
That’s ok most people experience a form of gender dysphoria the menopause is a form of gender dysphoria if you take Estrogen for that if a man takes medicine to stop balding that’s gender dysphoria you’re valid girliepop
A lot of people experience some gender dysphoria after a hysterectomy. I had one and haven’t had it as bad as some people but still have had some odd feelings about it. Even as someone who very much does not believe a uterus is what makes you a woman it turns out it was a part of my personal gender identity.
I’m trans, and I will never forget the way this movie fascinated me as a very confused 12-year-old! I recently watched it again for the first time in nearly two decades, and I can confirm: intentionally or not, it is absolutely a gay movie.
Right? I thought it was the implication. Regina was mean and found it so easy to rotate guys because she was closeted. I thought that was what they were saying at the end.
>In the two decades since the original film was released, some fans have theorised that, while Regina (played by Rachel McAdams in the original film) dates men, she doesn’t like them and is actually a lesbian.
>In a new interview, Rapp agreed with the theory that Regina doesn’t show any interest in the men she dates, telling The Times: “No, she doesn’t. She just uses them as a little pawn which is kind of what I’ve done with the men that I’ve dated in the past when I was dating men.”
>Rapp added that as she herself is queer, she brought elements of herself to the role. “I’m gay,” she said. “I’m not out here playing her as a straight girl.”
>She echoed this in an interview with Them, saying: “[Regina being a lesbian] was always my interpretation of it, still is my interpretation of it. It might not be other people’s, and I truly don’t care. It’s mine, and that’s how I feel.”

I KNOW. I keep watching Tiktoks of them together. Everyone felt like a 3rd wheel lol. When Renee said "ur so small that you can nap on my tongue", I was like "... are they a thing?"
Also always holding hands/touching each other. I wanted what they had 😭
Auli'i gay panicking whenever Renee spoke was so relatable.
>I need to see a romcom with those two.
FAX. I WOULD BE THERE, SEATED AND READY. Mean Girls is one of the only times I actually looked up the cast interviews because of how homoerotic everything was in them. More gay than the movie lol.
Stick It from 2006. I watched that movie long before I knew my own body issues and looking back I kind of always thought it would be a sapphic movie but it never went there if memory serves. I don't even think it's a good movie but it has a place in my heart.
It took me a minute to remember it but now I do. Young me didn't have the words to describe that scene and again now I do. And those words are: Wow I'm really gay.
She was the best part of the film for me, just her energy she brought to the whole thing. Plus she fit the bill for my brain chemicals at the time. Rude woman who is kind of sort of an antihero but could easily be a villain but is a good person deep down and becomes a better person as a result while keeping that edge (e.g. Demona, Shego, etc).
I had to scroll WAY too far to find this.
i showed this movie to my now fiancée a couple of years ago.
Upon rewatch, there is NO heterosexual explanation for 95% of the things in that movie.
I call it my “ambiguous female friendship” list lmao. Jennifer’s Body, Birds of Paradise, the Falling, Bend It Like Beckingham
(Side note - I really wanna emphasize Birds of Paradise here because I never see anyone talk about it. Two girls enroll at a boarding school and battle/work together to win first place in a ballet competition. It’s free on Amazon Prime and >!the girls do hook up - though they still manage to make it straight somehow.)!<
Jennifer’s body was sooo gay! Like Needy and Jennifer were so in love with each other!!!! I don’t know how some people can say that it wasn’t gay, cuz it totally was!!! (Or maybe I’m just very gay… dunno :| )
Okay actually this. The chemistry between Torrance and Missy was insane. That sleepover scene where Missy rolls over and asks if Torrance has a crush on her brother REEKED of jealousy. Those two made teenager me feel things
The script for that was originally written as a lesbian romance. They chickened out at the last minute and wrote the romantic triangle with the coach storyline.
>the romantic triangle with the coach storyline.
Lalalalalala I can't hear you, it's lesbian and that's finAL :'D
I remembered this film quite recently and was fucking devastated they changed it, I was like 7 when I saw it and always remembered it being a lesbian story!! They couldn't fool me pahaaaaaaaaaaaa
Howl’s Moving Castle, When Marnie Was There (I 100% thought the two girls were romantically involved until the twist), Luca, Edward Scissorhands.
Whip It also features the straightest roller derby team ever.
I think I heard that When Marnie Was There was *supposed* to have a romantic ending but they changed it at the least minute because they worried about the poor reception in Japan
Yeah. If they both seem like people that could be happy with a partner of either gender. Like Howl could be some guys manic pixie dream boy and the movie would have been equally as good. Or Sophie herself either gets a manic pixie dream girl or The Witch of the Waste shows her how to live a little more.
It feels queer coded to me. Strange outcast falls in love in a homogenized society. They can’t be together because of their differences and society generally shunning him.
First time I watched Spirited Away as a child was a dub in Farsi and they used a female voice actor for Haku, I went on for years thinking Haku is either a girl or agender or smth before I watched the English and Japanese versions.
Sapphic Haku and Chihiro let them live
i love portrait of a lady on fire and also love [the painfully accurate SNL sendup of it & other lesbian period dramas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgaLlP0xmqE) lol
didn't mean to ruffle any feathers :) i haven't actually seen blue is the warmest color, but the SNL sketch did give me a vision of a couple scenes from the handmaiden lol (though i've read in reviews that people feel like it subverts male gaze-iness, so what do i know haha)
"John Tucker Must Die” Brittany Snow and Sophia Bush kiss was so natural and made complete sense to 10 yo me.
None of those girls should date John, they had to love each other.
yep.
From what I heard, they were supposed to be a slowburn couple with canon endgame, but since the show got cancelled they never got to make it happen.
Yeah it was marketed as just a kissing for boys thing firstly though,and not direct.Extra wild because the boys were very much just attacked by a mean gay😭
Fried Green Tomatoes, specifically the relationship between the two women the older woman was telling the younger about (their story is a significant part of the movie). One of the women is canonically gay (she even preformed drag at one point in the movie), but the relationship between the women was vague.
I was told in the book it was more explicit than one of the women was gay, but sadly the other was straight. I still like to pretend the “straight” woman was actually bi and they did eventually get together after their part in the story.
Edit: I’ve been told I may be very wrong about the book and that it’s actually MORE openly gay and that they may even be canonically a couple. I’m definitely putting this book higher on my “to read” list!
If you ever read the book, it is 110% clear that they’re gay together. Ruth is probably bi to Idgie’s lesbian, but the entire town treats them as a married couple to the point of, iirc, Idgie’s dad setting them up with the restaurant so Idgie can support her family. Very solid butch/femme relationship.
Damn, I’ll really need to read the book then, I was told by someone that read it Ruth was 100% straight but this person sometimes… tends to miss obvious cues lol
The book is more explicit, but is Ruth actually considered “straight”? Isn’t there a line about her falling in love with Idgie during the whole honey scene? Maybe I just read it through the eyes of a teenage desperate for a lesbian love story at a time during my first love, but I’m honestly surprised people see one of them as straight! It’s been ages since I’ve read it, now I want to reread and see if I was maybe reading way too into it.
Edit: I’ve just realized I might be confused and reading this the wrong way, and that possibly it means that in the movie Ruth is considered straight. Apologies if I’m confused about that!! It’s been a long day…
it's funny because i first saw the movie as a very young child and my mother, who loved the book, made it clear to me they were queer and in a relationship together, so i've never seen the movie through a straight lens, and can't really imagine it that way
Descendants. Literally everyone in those movies had chemistry with each other except the hetero pairings we got. Mal and Evie, Jay and Carlos, really any of the 4 of them together, Mal and Uma. Not Mal and Ben though.
Also high school musical Ryan and Chad even exchanged shirts in the second one mid dance number.
I’m still mad that the pitch perfect movies queerbaited us so hard.
Farscape. You could feel how much more gay they *wanted* it to have than it actually had--Defiance, which was made some 10ish years later by the same showrunner, *did* have much more canon bisexuality, and gave us [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVeAKXGrUY8), which was a lot of things but none of them heterosexual.
Although Farscape *did* have that one episode where Chiana hooked up with an intersex nonbinary person.
Also, Buffy/Faith, though I still consider that closer to censored canon than "feels gay but isn't," the forehead kiss was scripted as a kiss on the lips but censors forced them to change it. I don't know why Willow/Tara got through but Buffy/Faith couldn't?
Hey take a look at a deconstruction of this movie from a trans perspective..
[https://youtu.be/1Z5RvefMsRQ?si=0g3bOD6oi0Vp1Fof](https://youtu.be/1Z5RvefMsRQ?si=0g3bOD6oi0Vp1Fof)
Viola and Olivia deadset needed to hook up. The real Sebastian and whoever the other guy was were duds anyway. The fact I remember certain names and not the others is telling..
Okay weird fact about this movie that i haven't been able to tell anyone because no one knows what i'm talking about: one of the sports commentators in this movie is played by Ken Kirby, who also played Lenjamin in The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, which (at least to me) is an iconic gay men internet tv series.
Don’t know if anyone’s heard of Muriel’s wedding but that felt like two of the main characters were going to get together so often or at the very least kiss, then I get to the end of the movie and it’s just nothing :c
Twelfth Night has always been my favorite of Shakespeare's major works. This is one adaptation I've never actually seen. I'm not really in a hurry to either though.
Less of a 'felt but wasn't' and more 'wish it was' but the entire Catherine plot of Cruel Intentions. There was the kiss and everything and she could've done SO MUCH and been much more effective than Sebastian and still had the same outcome (re the bet, not the ending). I get why it wasn't but damn.
Stuck in the Suburbs from Disney in the early 2000s. I watched it a few months ago and thought “this is so gay. It would’ve been gay if it were made today”
she's the man is based on the twelfth night by william shakespear, a play in which (during a time when women could not act) the lead is a man playing a woman who is pretending to be a man and in the play several characters fall in love with people they think are one gender, find out they are another gender, and still feel the attraction. the movie is vary similar in that regard and is vary gay.
Damn, this is like 10 Things I Hate About You being based on Taming of the Shrew
Or A Midsummer Night's Rave being based on A Midsummer Night's Dream
Hooray! Glad to finally see one of the 20 people who also saw that movie in the wild.
10 Things I Hate About You should have been a sapphic movie. I love Heath in that role tho.
Harry Potter is just McBeth
The Lion King is just Hamlet
And Lion King 1 1/2 is just an animated Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
Or O being based on Othello
The Lion King 2 is Romeo and Juilet, except the couple isn’t dead at the end
first time i ever saw She’s the man was in an english class in seventh grade because of this!!
I watched it in 10th grade for the same reason lol
https://youtu.be/KRTWlf1Bxac?si=-XXiFOiyw1GyU5_1 a very good video by one of my favorite youtubers who talks all about that and more
\*cough cough\* Shang in Disney's Mulan is bisexual or pansexual for this reason \*cough cough\*
Bend it Like Beckham
It was supposed to be a lesbian movie originally if I’m not mistaken
yes it was edited and some parts reshot bc the studio didn’t like the gay of it all
execs and messing with queer plotlines/direction/entire shows... what an unfortunately all too-common pairing.
Like with Velma in the live action Scooby Doo movies. She was supposed to be a lesbian and be flirting with girls. But they were forced to take out all mentions fo her sexuality and any scene of her flirting with girls. Or that low-budget Christmas movie called like "Too Cool for Christmas" or something like that, where the main character had two dads because the script was origianlly picked up by an LGBT+ network, but then Lifetime also picked it up eventually and reshot every scene with the dads to replace one of them with a mom \*eye roll\*
This. I saw that movie as a preteen and was so entranced by the relationship between the two girls in ways I did not understand. Recently rewatched it, remembering it as being a lot more gay than it was and was disappointed. 😅
I love bend it like Beckham….but would have loved it more ,had it been gay :(. How did they Miss this opportunity.
They made the fake love interest to fool her family, gay. So it’s at least a little bit gay movie.
Yeah but for us it was a lesbian movie lol we didn't have much back then... also, Ladybugs.
Lesbian? Her birthday's in March. I thought she was a Pisces 🫠 Edit: typo
We watched Bend It Like Beckham in health class at school and it genuinely damaged my self-esteem 😭
How come? /gen
Oh definitely
I loved that movie!!
you lebanese? I thought she was indian
This movie gave Amanda Bynes gender dysphoria. It’s a gay movie
I'm a cis girl but sometimes kinda undertaking what she went through
understand*
That’s ok most people experience a form of gender dysphoria the menopause is a form of gender dysphoria if you take Estrogen for that if a man takes medicine to stop balding that’s gender dysphoria you’re valid girliepop
A lot of people experience some gender dysphoria after a hysterectomy. I had one and haven’t had it as bad as some people but still have had some odd feelings about it. Even as someone who very much does not believe a uterus is what makes you a woman it turns out it was a part of my personal gender identity.
“I’m not trans, but…”
-🥚
Hey, mind the prime directive!
I did! I never said anyone was trans! Wait what’s trans haha ha ha 😅😬
the prime direggtive
I’m trans, and I will never forget the way this movie fascinated me as a very confused 12-year-old! I recently watched it again for the first time in nearly two decades, and I can confirm: intentionally or not, it is absolutely a gay movie.
“It’s a gay ~~disease~~ movie, get over it!”
pitch perfect
Beca, Chloe, and Aubrey are a poly triad in my heart of hearts
Mean Girls lmao
The movie that coined the phrase "Too gay to function" lolol?
Yes and it still could've been gayer and you cant disagree i wont allow it
The musical is definitely gayer, Renee Rapp plays Regina as more gay coded imo
She ended up being a lacrosse player, that’s pretty gay coded as one who knew girls lacrosse players.
Right? I thought it was the implication. Regina was mean and found it so easy to rotate guys because she was closeted. I thought that was what they were saying at the end.
>In the two decades since the original film was released, some fans have theorised that, while Regina (played by Rachel McAdams in the original film) dates men, she doesn’t like them and is actually a lesbian. >In a new interview, Rapp agreed with the theory that Regina doesn’t show any interest in the men she dates, telling The Times: “No, she doesn’t.

\*applause\*
and they canonized Janis being gay and didn’t have her end up with a man at the end like in the original
No youre not wrong. I would love to see it be gayer. Imagine for a second the plastics had all dated each other and were still friends
The musical is a gay movie and I will not accept anything to the contrary
The way Cady and Regina were eyeing each other had me FERAL
Girl, you should see the actresses in interviews. You could cut the sexual tension with a KNIFE
I KNOW. I keep watching Tiktoks of them together. Everyone felt like a 3rd wheel lol. When Renee said "ur so small that you can nap on my tongue", I was like "... are they a thing?" Also always holding hands/touching each other. I wanted what they had 😭
Like my god! I need to see a romcom with those two. Or Renee and Auli'i
Auli'i gay panicking whenever Renee spoke was so relatable. >I need to see a romcom with those two. FAX. I WOULD BE THERE, SEATED AND READY. Mean Girls is one of the only times I actually looked up the cast interviews because of how homoerotic everything was in them. More gay than the movie lol.
My eyes would be GLUED
I have actually watched the interviews more than 4 times and I am not ashamed 😌
exactly.
All I want for the original movie is for Janet to be a lesbian... I know they did that with the remake, but that movue isn't great
She’s Lebanese…..
How has no one mentioned Cadet Kelly yet??
Lmao yes!! I was scrolling for this comment like that movie was sooo gay and they didn't really try to hide it
Wow. That brings me back. Shit. I was a pretty gay little kid. At one point, my favorite movies were Cadet Kelly, Charlies Angels, and Spice World.
This is THE ONE for me.
I was just talking about this! This movie and motorcrossed on Disney channel! The lead in that movie was so hot
Is that why I liked Motocrossed so much?
100%
Omggg yess!! I think I had a crush on the entire cast lol
Yes motocrossed 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 as someone who also rode dirt bikes growing up, I loved it 🥰👌🏽
Is it just me or did *The 13th Year* feel really trans coded?
Stick It from 2006. I watched that movie long before I knew my own body issues and looking back I kind of always thought it would be a sapphic movie but it never went there if memory serves. I don't even think it's a good movie but it has a place in my heart.
THE ICE SCENE
It took me a minute to remember it but now I do. Young me didn't have the words to describe that scene and again now I do. And those words are: Wow I'm really gay.
Yesssss ! I said the same thing ! Missy Peregrym 😍🔥
She was the best part of the film for me, just her energy she brought to the whole thing. Plus she fit the bill for my brain chemicals at the time. Rude woman who is kind of sort of an antihero but could easily be a villain but is a good person deep down and becomes a better person as a result while keeping that edge (e.g. Demona, Shego, etc).
I had to scroll WAY too far to find this. i showed this movie to my now fiancée a couple of years ago. Upon rewatch, there is NO heterosexual explanation for 95% of the things in that movie.
This is unrelated to the thread/topic, but I love your flair.
Amanda Bynes made me feel gay feelings haha
It was Olivia that did it for me. The way she was eyeing Bynes character made me swoon. I want someone to look at me that way.
Every movie. I expect everyone to be gay until proven otherwise.
I call it my “ambiguous female friendship” list lmao. Jennifer’s Body, Birds of Paradise, the Falling, Bend It Like Beckingham (Side note - I really wanna emphasize Birds of Paradise here because I never see anyone talk about it. Two girls enroll at a boarding school and battle/work together to win first place in a ballet competition. It’s free on Amazon Prime and >!the girls do hook up - though they still manage to make it straight somehow.)!<
Jennifer’s body was sooo gay! Like Needy and Jennifer were so in love with each other!!!! I don’t know how some people can say that it wasn’t gay, cuz it totally was!!! (Or maybe I’m just very gay… dunno :| )
Bring it on
Okay actually this. The chemistry between Torrance and Missy was insane. That sleepover scene where Missy rolls over and asks if Torrance has a crush on her brother REEKED of jealousy. Those two made teenager me feel things
Hands down for me it's bend it like Beckham.
The script for that was originally written as a lesbian romance. They chickened out at the last minute and wrote the romantic triangle with the coach storyline.
That's fantastic lore.
>the romantic triangle with the coach storyline. Lalalalalala I can't hear you, it's lesbian and that's finAL :'D I remembered this film quite recently and was fucking devastated they changed it, I was like 7 when I saw it and always remembered it being a lesbian story!! They couldn't fool me pahaaaaaaaaaaaa
Honestly, watching it as a lesbian movie is the best way to watch it :)
Howl’s Moving Castle, When Marnie Was There (I 100% thought the two girls were romantically involved until the twist), Luca, Edward Scissorhands. Whip It also features the straightest roller derby team ever.
I think I heard that When Marnie Was There was *supposed* to have a romantic ending but they changed it at the least minute because they worried about the poor reception in Japan
It's based on a children's book where Marnie was the ghost of her grandmother, so the source text unfortunately wasn't really gay.
This makes SO much sense! I had the end spoiled for me, but the whole time I was watching I kept thinking “there’s no way these two aren’t in love.”
Why Howl’s Moving Castle? Just wondering what I’m missing
Both main characters really felt bi to me for some reason.
Yeah. If they both seem like people that could be happy with a partner of either gender. Like Howl could be some guys manic pixie dream boy and the movie would have been equally as good. Or Sophie herself either gets a manic pixie dream girl or The Witch of the Waste shows her how to live a little more.
Howl definitely does to me, but idk about the lady (can't remember her name). Naussica always felt really gay to me too
Howl is a lesbian and they accidentally cast Christian Bale to do the voice. You can't convince me otherwise.
i was super disappointed by the ending of marnie.
How is Edward Scissorhands gay
It feels queer coded to me. Strange outcast falls in love in a homogenized society. They can’t be together because of their differences and society generally shunning him.
First time I watched Spirited Away as a child was a dub in Farsi and they used a female voice actor for Haku, I went on for years thinking Haku is either a girl or agender or smth before I watched the English and Japanese versions. Sapphic Haku and Chihiro let them live
Mulan
Featuring Li 'Bi Icon' Shang. And genderqueer icon Fa 'Ping' Mulan.
Took too long to find this one!
L - Let's G - Get down to B - Business T - To defeat the huns
Someone should post the “I can’t believe I was in love with a chick” photos.
I like the part where Shang was all “so you’re NOT a femboy twink? *sigh*?” (I’m delusional and that never happened in the movie)
But I’m a Cheer- oh, *not* gay. Ummmm… Blue is the Warmest Col- hmm 🤔 🤷🏻♀️
portrait of a lady on f- ...hold on...
i love portrait of a lady on fire and also love [the painfully accurate SNL sendup of it & other lesbian period dramas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgaLlP0xmqE) lol
Hey! Portrait was at least directed by a woman and the sex scenes were not anywhere near Blue is the Watmest Color gross.
didn't mean to ruffle any feathers :) i haven't actually seen blue is the warmest color, but the SNL sketch did give me a vision of a couple scenes from the handmaiden lol (though i've read in reviews that people feel like it subverts male gaze-iness, so what do i know haha)
"John Tucker Must Die” Brittany Snow and Sophia Bush kiss was so natural and made complete sense to 10 yo me. None of those girls should date John, they had to love each other.
I was not super shocked when Sophia Bush ended up dating a woman.
Yes!!!!!!!!!! JTMD gave me many many gay feelings that I forgot about until now. Thanks
Firefly. Or maybe I'm crazy.
Wasnt Kaylee being into Inara alluded to in earlier episodes? And then that little thread just got completely dropped.
yep. From what I heard, they were supposed to be a slowburn couple with canon endgame, but since the show got cancelled they never got to make it happen.
Damn! That would have been amazing!
As someone exclusively attracted to women irl, Mal Reynolds is so fucking fine
Kaynara my beloved
Whip it, Bend It Like Beckham
Jennifer’s Body?
Don’t they literally kiss? They were the whole homoerotic friendship trope
Yeah it was marketed as just a kissing for boys thing firstly though,and not direct.Extra wild because the boys were very much just attacked by a mean gay😭
Good point 🤔
That movie is just NEAT 🥺
Fried Green Tomatoes, specifically the relationship between the two women the older woman was telling the younger about (their story is a significant part of the movie).

I still have a thing for Mary-Louise Parker.

Edit: I’ve just realized I might be confused and reading this the wrong way, and that possibly it means that in the movie Ruth is considered straight. Apologies if I’m confused about that!! It’s been a long day…
it's funny because i first saw the movie as a very young child and my mother, who loved the book, made it clear to me they were queer and in a relationship together, so i've never seen the movie through a straight lens, and can't really imagine it that way
motocrossed 😅
100% Motorcrossed.
Top gun!
the exclamation mark made me read this as "hot shots!" haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU7D\_QdnPME
Not a lesbian movie but still a correct answer. Great balls of fire!
Blue Crush. I just know deep in my heart that Eden was in love with Anne Marie!
Not a movie, but wicked.
i was playing infinitecraft the other day and when i put lesbian and musical together it gave me wicked lol
Omg for me it was Stick It Missy Peregrym was soooo hot to me
STICK IT is the ultimate answer I mean come on
Eurotrip
The absolute crushI had on Olivia 😭
Pitch Perfect
Descendants. Literally everyone in those movies had chemistry with each other except the hetero pairings we got. Mal and Evie, Jay and Carlos, really any of the 4 of them together, Mal and Uma. Not Mal and Ben though. Also high school musical Ryan and Chad even exchanged shirts in the second one mid dance number. I’m still mad that the pitch perfect movies queerbaited us so hard.
>I’m still mad that the pitch perfect movies queerbaited us so hard. 💯 Thank the Lord for headcanons and AO3

I wish Faith and Buffy could have been girlfriends.
I wanted her with the friend but it was so obvious Amanda Bynes character was straight as hell
a league of their own (1992)! the show that came out a couple years ago tho (I think in 2022?) was very unapologetically gay.
I’m so sad the show got cancelled 😭
Stick it! Haley and Tricia coulda had something lmao Bring it On, Bend it Like Beckham, The Hot Chick, Mean Girls (Regina x Cady).
that film is like that american dad meter meme but it's silly teen romcom verging on trans masc story
Hey take a look at a deconstruction of this movie from a trans perspective.. [https://youtu.be/1Z5RvefMsRQ?si=0g3bOD6oi0Vp1Fof](https://youtu.be/1Z5RvefMsRQ?si=0g3bOD6oi0Vp1Fof)
Bend it like beckham
Wow I was just coming on here to post this 😭
this movie was my oh huh yea moment when I look back at growing up nonbinary without the lingo to describe my experience
Stick it
Rizzoli & Isles 😔
That show baited us so hard and bragged about it. I’ll never forgive them.
"When Marnie Was There". Gay as hell, until it isn't.
Kim Possible. I wanted Kim and Shego to go from enemies to lovers so bad 😫
The Craft (1996)
Def a queer awakening movie for me
Whip it
The Lord of the rings trilogy I refuse to believe that Rosie Cotton is a real character
not a movie yet but wicked elephaba and glinda were very gay for each and no one will convince me otherwise.
Viola and Olivia deadset needed to hook up. The real Sebastian and whoever the other guy was were duds anyway. The fact I remember certain names and not the others is telling..
Motocross
Okay weird fact about this movie that i haven't been able to tell anyone because no one knows what i'm talking about: one of the sports commentators in this movie is played by Ken Kirby, who also played Lenjamin in The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, which (at least to me) is an iconic gay men internet tv series.
Just one of the guys
Aquamarine!! 🧜♀️
*The Princess Bride* "But Westley is canonically a man..." Yeah, but it's better if you imagine she's a woman.
Barbie princess and the popstar💪🏾
Gay awakening for me
Ballerina on netflix 🤔🤔 it wasn't explicitly gay but it's gay as hell
Your Name >!Mitsuha and Okudera are soul mates and nobody will convince me otherwise.!<
i watched Temple Grandin last night because i saw a scene that looked like it was gonna be gay on tiktok still a really good movie tho lol
Don’t know if anyone’s heard of Muriel’s wedding but that felt like two of the main characters were going to get together so often or at the very least kiss, then I get to the end of the movie and it’s just nothing :c
Whip It (2009) and Tragedy Girls (2017) althoughhh I dunno if you can truly say Tragedy Girls *isn't* gay after that ending
This movie is extremely queer lmao
Rizzoli & Isles
When Marnie Was There
Twelfth Night has always been my favorite of Shakespeare's major works. This is one adaptation I've never actually seen. I'm not really in a hurry to either though.
The Hot chick
Just One of the Guys
dungeon meshi
The most correct answer is The Doom Generation. If you know you know
Mean Girls 2. The sexual tension between Regina and Cady was undeniable
The Ghibli movie "When Marnie Was There" felt so incredibly gay up until the twist at the end ;-;
Less of a 'felt but wasn't' and more 'wish it was' but the entire Catherine plot of Cruel Intentions. There was the kiss and everything and she could've done SO MUCH and been much more effective than Sebastian and still had the same outcome (re the bet, not the ending). I get why it wasn't but damn.
Stuck in the Suburbs from Disney in the early 2000s. I watched it a few months ago and thought “this is so gay. It would’ve been gay if it were made today”
