Mean Girls raised an entire generation of homosexuals.
Like, really, find me a gay person who doesn't love it*.
(*I'm sure you LOVELY people will tell me "NOT ALL GAY PEOPLE" in the comments. Love you all for that!)
BUT, I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and something I love about the movie is that all the major male leads ended up coming out as gay in real life.
Daniel Franzese, aka Damian, told AOL, "I came out around the tenth anniversary of Mean Girls [in 2014]."
"And then I did come out, and I made two of my other co-stars come out — Kevin G and Aaron Samuels — we're all gay!"
Jonathan Bennett, aka Aaron Samuels, told TooFab, "There comes a time in your life when you realize it just doesn't matter and it's not worth it to not just live completely open as yourself."
"It's everyone's own journey and they can do it how they want. For me, I was like, OK, it was time. I was like, 'Yep, I'm done. I'm over it.' I'm like, fuck it don't cast me, I don't care."
Rajiv Surendra, aka Kevin G, told Kajal Mag, "I know full well that if I was an openly gay actor, there was no way I’d be considered for the role of a sixteen-year-old religious Indian kid in a movie that Fox was putting $100 million into*."
*He's talking about Mean Girls obv.
After Mean Girls, he moved to Munich Germany: "Living there and going out with guys made me see how easy it was."
So, yep, there you have it — they're all gay (and thriving✨)
