Movie on the Lawn: "But I'm a Cheerleader"

Movie on the Lawn: "But I'm a Cheerleader"

This is a past event.

Friday, October 13 at 5:00pm to 9:00pm

MARC Building Lawn

Join us on October 13th from 5-9pm at the MARC Building Lawns for a night of enlightenment and entertainment! In celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month and National Coming out Day, enjoy a free screening and discussion of "But I'm a Cheerleader" co-hosted by FIU Foundation, the Pride Center, the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and the FIU History Department.

The discussion will be led by Dr. Capo, Associate Professor from the department of History. Centering on the LGBTQIA+ experience, it will provide valuable insights into the historical and contemporary issues at the center of the film, such as conversion therapy, lesbian and bi erasure, community-building, and religion, among several other issues.  The movie, which was carefully chosen to promote historical and social understanding while encouraging awareness and education, addresses themes related to identity, self-discovery, and the impact of societal norms.

Bring your own blanket or chairs!
