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✨)
“It was really important as I’ve worked with the Trevor Project for more than 10 years, and so I don’t think I would’ve been able to look myself in the mirror had I not said anything." buzzfeed.com/larryfitzmauri…
Daniel Radcliffe's made it no secret that he doesn't stand with J.K. Rowling's anti-trans beliefs.
In June of 2020, the actor and Harry Potter star published an open letter on The Trevor Project's website, stating that "trans women are women."

If you're currently job hunting, chances are you've found yourself at your wit's end of the application process. They can be long, tedious, and often times you don't even get a response back.
Which is probably why this résumé "hack" is currently re-circulating around Twitter.
The hack is called "white wording," and it's a trick designed to outsmart most companies' Applicant Tracking Software. The software is designed to sort through job applications and choose the ones that align best with the job description.

You know Glee — you love Glee.
One of the classic TV show's more memorable (for all the wrong reasons 🥴) characters was glee club director and teacher Will Schuester — or Mr. Schue — who was played by Matthew Morrison.
The episode seemingly boiled Mexican culture down to sombreros, maracas, tacos, and "Juan" jokes. buzzfeed.com/angelicaamarti…
Earlier this week, Prue Leith took to Twitter to announce that the Great British Bake Off's theme for their next episode would be "Mexican week."
Yeah, yikes 😅
It's not that I don't think it's possible to do an episode like this with appreciation and respect for the culture, but I was fairly certain that wasn't the direction #GBBO would be going.
