Watching Prom Dates right now because decompressing, but there's such a weird need to put down the queer kid in the movie. Like every time they bring up she's gay, they have to say something about her clothing or wearing her brother's jorts or "let's go to the local co-op poetry slam vegan restaurant to find you a date."

Like it's only funny for so long, especially because the stereotypes don't stop when they are between the straight characters talking about her sexuality behind her back. And I can't remember the lesbian ever making a joke about herself, it's always her straight bestie or brother....

We've continuously seen this with the gay men characters in media that are there to be the best friend who is essentially a personified joke, but it feels like some of these movies think they can just get away with queerphobia and laughing at the queers because they are in an inclusive era or the character actually gets a love interest.
