~~The Mean Girls ~~

This weeks post… Mean Girls



Yes that’s right Mean Girls . . . I know I know that so many of you have seen this movie. But have you experienced. Have you realized the power within? This isnt just any teen drama. It’s a coming of age gay classic. Cult classics only come around once in a blue moon and here children is the newest addition.

This movie for me was a revolution… It wasn’t like anything I had ever seen. I thought at the time that I was the only boy who watched it. Who found the dynamic between the girl, gay and male characters to be completely riveting. I wanted to have this life (to an extent). I wanted to have a group of friends like Janyce Ian (dyke), Damian (too gay to function), and even Cady Heron (Plastic, Bitch). I wanted to be comfortable with myself. To be open.

Being open for me has always been difficult. I have never been open with my feelings, or how I thought. I always bottled it up and stored it away. I could always feel my guilt and my pain gnawing at my insides but I just moved on. Through the years this built and every now and then I would “implode” and move on. I would try my best to keep my feelings from others, but I am getting better. I am learning to open up. I am learning to be loved and to be cared for. Thank you to those who have loved me and continue to love me throughout the years

Oddly enough my happiness this year can be tied to this goddess-like movie; Mean Girls. With it I have had countless experiences and made life long friends. I would like to thank that crazy bitch Tina for bringing this gospel into my life.

Love,

Graeme

  1. Okay...I know that saying this means I am like the least gay...gay...out there...but...

    As funny as I thought it was, It didn't leave much of an impression on me. There are a few movies that really, REALLY did For example:
    Prayers for bobby, Shelter, A beautiful thing. If you have seen them you know that all are gay themed. Each one of them helped me stop feeling sorry for myself, and start to find my happy ending.

    But, back on topic. Mean girls: It was a great movie, and thanks for posting this. Have an incredible day.

  2. Butterflies - The movies you mentioned are actually movies making relevant comments and their main focus are on gay relationships.

    Mean Girls is not so to compare them is like comparing a book to a song.

    Mean Girls is the noughties Clueless.
