I swear for years I thought cheerleaders were just a made up movie thing, my British brain could not comprehend that they really existed in America, it just seemed too strange a concept!

It is cool that lesbian cheerleader films are mainly made by queer women. I am betting that if straight men wrote the sapphic cheerleaders most of them would be pretty bicurious types.

Four of the 46 US Presidents being cheerleaders in their youth, nearly ten percent, is my new favorite historical fact. I will now share it with everyone.

Bottoms and But I’m a Cheerleader are my favorite sapphic movies- I never made the cheerleader connection until now. I think I find the subversion of having a ‘popular’ girl be a lesbian is intriguing, and something about the social hierarchy being toppled by having a popular cheerleader pair up with an outcasted lesbian girl is just,,

Santana is such a BRILLIANT character. So much depth. Her moment coming out to her Abuella is the single most heartbreaking moment on glee. It makes you forget that Glee is a comedy

My wife and I agreed our kids would NOT be allowed to play football or cheerlead. Not a gender role thing or anything like that. Those are two of the sports wity thr worst injury track records. High level cheerleading today is basically gymnastics without any of the safety equipment.

as a brown cheerleader that attends a fairly diverse school, cheer is quite black and white, literally. although whiteness is very much the beauty standard, my other poc teammates were inherently sexualized as black women. despite the distinct color and cultural differences, they still manage to bond over their popularity and attractiveness to guys. it's fascinating to look at intersectional identities and experiences in cheer and i can't wait to see more representation

I feel like Bring it On is the lesbian cheerleader move that should’ve been

Ok but the commitment to the wardrobe and shoutout to the Cheer Squad for the outfit.

I just love "but im a cheerleader" so much. One of my first gay movies.

The whole cheerleader thing is interesting because all of the cheerleaders that I’ve meet in real life have been rather kind and compassionate people and cheer wasn’t the popularity thing that it is in movies

I grew up in a smaller, conservative, suburban town in the US, in the 00’s, there were several queer girls on our cheerleading team. They would probably be called fem/high fem today, it was so interesting because they definitely flew under the radar, those who knew knew, but even when the rumors would pop up every now and then about there being queer girls on the team, a lot of people didn’t believe it just because they were cheerleaders…

This is kinda funny to me, because I know zero cheerleaders, but am a queer pole dancer with lots of queer friends in the pole dancing community and I always have to burst people’s bubbles that it’s really not that sexy a sport 😅
Loads of being red as a tomato from hanging upside down and doing your best cave… cave person(?) grunt while heaving yourself into the more difficult lifts

!!! I am a cheerleader and a lesbian and i love talking about the history of this sport !!! it’s so lovely to see this video. If anyone has questions about cheer i’m happy to answer
(side note/fun fact: there are cheerleaders in the UK! they’re just more of the competitive variety than the game day variety)

This video came just at the right moment for me, I'm writing a coming of age horror story with a lesbian cheerleader as the lead. So now I have even more to think about for it, haha. Excellent work as always!

I watched Dare Me a while back, and I was taken in by this weirdly dark depressing show about cheerleaders. I was also pleasantly surprised that the queer vibes I got turned out to be intended. And apparently the writer was urged to 'add a love interest for the protagonist' and replied with 'she already has two'.

I could write a whole dissertation about how the sapphic cheerleader as a character, but also as real people, subvert the tropes that demonize the hyperfemininity associated with cheerleaders.
One thing I want to say is that cheerleading is often viewed as a very class-exclusive sport. Cheerleading is EXPENSIVE! Most of the girls I’ve talked to that are on cheer teams have said that they (their parents) have to pay about $3,000 per month for the maintenance of uniforms, hair & makeup, doctors visits, training/gym time, and a lot of other things that a lot of people wouldn’t believe is necessary as a cheerleader. This is also why it’s been seen as a very whyte sport as well- the aesthetics and money required of the sport.
Honestly, Bring it On was the first piece of media I ever saw that had Black cheerleaders. I wish there were more movies and shows (and books tbh) that have BIPOC cheerleaders and queer cheerleaders, without the trauma p0rn that often occurs when ppl try to tell diverse stories.

I've been wanting to make a video for forever about the 'Mean Lesbian' archetype - which also overlaps with this trope, so glad someone else is interested in tropes about queer women. I find them really interesting & there's so many patterns within wlw media

"Jennifer's Body" was written by Diablo Cody, but it was directed by Karyn Kusama.

It's funny how many stereotypically feminine things started out associated with masculinity: cheerleading, high heels, the color pink, etc. Really shows how arbitrary gender stereotypes are.
