Your post reminded me of it! Basically the same concept. Explored queerness a lot and identity and the movie itself, with some needed criticism but also a lot of passionate appreciation. I think you'll enjoy it.
Also: you triggered a memory in me, at age 14--I was in my Catholic school's production of Godspell, and we were trying to figure out who should partner up with whom in a certain choreography sequence, I think a sexy one for "Turn Back O Man." I immediately thought that it would make sense blocking-wise if I partnered with Laurie (a girl). And then....VERY slowly...the understanding that we couldn't, that that wasn't allowed, that that wouldn't fly, overtook my instinctual certainty. I've always remembered that moment.
Have you seen the documentary Chasing Chasing Amy?
I have not, but a friend told me about it recently and now it's very much on my list! What are your thoughts?
