It's something of a refreshing delight to see queer characters presented as a diverse group of complicated people while straight folks are being satirized. Their safe, dark coloured clothing and serious personalities are a stark contrast to the bright colours and vivid personas of the conversion camp teens, and it's clear to me why so many of my fellow queer friends in high school mentioned this movie as one of their favourites. I hope LGBT+ representation in cinema gets a bit more complex than this as time goes on, but I also hope it remains about as strange and individualistic as this movie was.
