She is willing to risk familial alienation in honor of her own truth, and she won’t easily give up on love even when her partner’s (understandable) cowardice threatens their bond. Megan knows the rightness of her own heart, and that surety is her guide. She can’t lie to herself very successfully and eventually refuses to force untruth on herself at all. Portrayed by the incomparable Natasha Lyonne - whom you might think of as a more brash presence, based on her contemporaneous roles in American Pie and Detroit Rock City, or her more recent appearances in Orange is the New Black and Russian Doll - Megan is soft, and that is her strength.

He is also a Gemini because, while this movie doesn’t immediately appear to be overburdened with Gemini energy upon casual viewing, Clayton’s entire arc of: He doesn’t get a lot of lines, and perhaps for that reason comes across as a little simple. Golden haired Clayton, who works in retail, is a homosexual. Hopefully she went on to atone and amend for the “what will people think?!” attitude that led her to send her own child to a candy-colored conversion therapy camp. Blamed as Megan’s “queer root” for acting as breadwinner when Peter was unemployed, Nancy made a cruel ultimatum in a last-ditch effort to suppress her daughter’s queerness. Played by legendary John Waters film villain Mink Stole, Nancy is blunt enough to flatly blurt the words “lesbian” and “cocksucker” in the face of her husband Peter’s hesitancy, but hides under the brim of her (fabulous!) hat lest she be recognized while attending a PFLAG meeting in the post-credits scene. You never even knew their name… but you know they were a Taurus.Īlso probably a Taurus: protagonist Megan Bloomfield’s mother Nancy. Also, this individual possesses the devastating planetary-gravitational attraction level of French American actress Julie Delpy. When you rethink your knee-jerk refusal and join them on the floor, they knowingly pull you to their chest and gently stroke your hair as you spin and sway in unison. A quietly confident person in a black tube top and statement necklace strides up, stares you dead in the eye, and asks for a dance. Picture this: you’re in a small but well-attended bar called Cocksucker, sitting soberly on a stool and feeling uncertain about your presence in the building and place in your own life. In this ram-on-ram contest of horned headbutting, victory inevitably belongs to Dolph. While she seems to be able to cow her own son, Rock, into terrified silence, even her disapproving eyebrows don’t stand a chance against a righteous Aries in the throes of a fresh queer crush. Sadly, Mary Brown, the impeccably coiffed plastic-flower cultivating bigot who runs True Directions, is probably also an Aries - albeit an evil, twisted one who uses her implacable willpower to intimidate queer youth at the behest of their homophobic families. Fortunately for our banished homosexual hero, we later learn that he was taken in by True Directions survivors and ex-ex-gay neighbors Lloyd and Larry, who provide him with a striped rainbow pajama set and help him rescue Clayton from Mary’s clutches in a pickup truck. Dolph is the first to be booted out of True Directions for breaking Lana'sLana'sLana'sLana'sLana's Lana's Mary’s rules after initiating a midnight makeout with fellow camper Clayton. Portrayed by Dante Basco ( RU-FI-O! RU-FI-O! RU! FI! OOOH), Dolph is a straight-shooting gay who’s quick to figure out what - and who - he wants. Aries is Dolph, the varsity wrestling jock whose queer “root” is “too many locker room showers with the varsity team.”
