BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER (1999) returns to the big screen for WeShine! All proceeds from this benefit screening go toward their work building and maintaining micro-villages for unhoused Portlanders.
BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER stars Natasha Lyonne as the titular cheerleader who gets sent to an anti-gay conversion camp run by Mary Brown (Cathy Moriarty) when her strait-laced parents and friends suspect her of being a lesbian. Directed by Jamie Babbit and featuring a star-studded cast including Clea DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, Mink Stole, Michelle Williams, Julie Delpy, Bud Cort, and RuPaul (out of drag!), BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER is a modern-day comedy classic—and somehow even more relevant nearly three decades after its release.
About WeShine:
WeShine designs, builds, and operates neighborhood-based micro-villages that provide safe, transitional shelter and services where vulnerable, unsheltered adults in the Portland metropolitan area can live as they prepare to become successful tenants in permanent, affordable housing.
