Queer-a-licious

Q-U-E-Er-a-l-icious. First class. Keepin' it fly. Drinkin' champaigne, fabulous life...

AIGHT.

It's thursday. Lambda day. (That's right, thursdays will now be officially renamed. okay, okay. so maybe not...)

The meeting is once again in MORTON 38. 7:30. Be there.

We'll be watching a movie. And you'll have two choices.

I'll lay it out for you.

Choice One: But I'm a Cheerleader.
Yahoo says: Confident and opinionated, 17-year-old Megan is a high school student who has it all. She's popular, pretty, a model student, dates the captain of the football team and is a cheerleader. But she's also a vegetarian, likes Georgia O'Keefe and hates kissing her boyfriend, leading her horrified parents to conclude that she's... a lesbian! Their solution is to send Megan to True Directions, a "rehabilitation camp" run by homophobic counselor Mary Brown. At first, Megan resists "rehabilitation." Then she meets Graham, a sexy tomboy who shows her exactly what her "true direction" is.

Choice Two: Saving Face
Yahoo Says: For 28-year-old New Yorker Wilhelmina "Wil" Pang, life is a juggling act between a promising career as a surgeon and her responsibilities as a dutiful daughter. Like the #7 train she takes to visit her Chinese family on a weekly basis, Wil is perpetually in transit between two worlds. The expectations of Flushing, Queens society she is from and the desires that alienate her from it have made Wil content to live below the surface--even if it means playing an inadvertent game of charades with her widowed mother and the world Ma represents. The masquerade is comic even in its pain as Wil tolerates Ma's weekly set ups with eligible Chinese-American boys at the Friday Chinese socials; but it quickly becomes a farce when Ma's mask cracks first. One night, Wil comes home to find Ma on her doorstep--pregnant. Disgraced by the Chinese community, and with no where else to go, Ma moves in with her daughter, making it difficult for Wil to nurture a budding relationship with gorgeous dancer Vivian. As her carefully compartmentalized worlds collide, Wil is forced to find her mother a husband, placate her girlfriend, and choose between breaking a cycle of keeping up appearances, or risk losing the girl she loves.
Alright. See you there!
