Lesbian just for teen

Warning: Major spoilers for the film Booksmart appear throughout the piece. Last week, I saw Booksmart on its opening night, geeked out about how the high school comedy was finally being queered, and wrote about this emerging drama and why we need more movies like this one. It was resembling of that iconic scene in 10 Things I Hate About You , where Cameron sees Bianca for the first time on campus and stops and stares for what feels like a lifetime as Bianca effortlessly walks by in slow motion, of course. Rather than acting as an oppressive force, her lesbianism is instead prioritized through things that every high school girl wants to experience: she wants to have her first sexual and romantic experiences with a girl before she leaves the country, and she ultimately wants her best friend to support her through these desires. Luckily, Molly fully encourages her, similar to Michael pushing Cameron to win over Bianca, but gay and with two womxn! Never have I seen two teenage girls on screen talk about sex so freely, especially queer sex.

Click to talk to a trained teen volunteer. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If you are an LGBQ teen, you may feel different from your straight friends, especially when they talk about romantic feelings, dating, and sex. You may feel like you have to pretend in order to fit in. You may feel you need to deny or hide who you are. Or you may feel supported and able to be yourself.

Sign in. A psychological thriller about a couple in the final days of their marriage, as told from each of their perspectives. A romantic birthday plan goes terribly wrong after a tragic accident one Halloween. A year later, strange things start happening, and people start dying.

Inside:Is my teen daughter a lesbian? Where once it was awkward, if not dangerous, to be anything other than straight, we now talk openly about a spectrum of orientations and genders. Or maybe not. Some girls who experiment with same-sex partners end up happily straight. Others come to identify as bisexual.
