THE EXPERIENCE

Join Basic Rights Oregon for this FREE movie screening of the 1999 queer cult classic film, “But I’m a Cheerleader” starring Natasha Lyonne!

Doors will open at 3:30 for concessions, socializing, and a chance to create your own (very gay) pom-poms! We are inviting ALL AGES to this event, so please feel free to make this a full-family affair! (This movie is rated R, but Common Sense Media recommends it for ages 14 or older. Please decide for yourself if it’s appropriate for your children!)

Again this is a FREE event, however we are asking for a $15 to $25 donation per person.

All revenue will go toward our work in Oregon to protect and advance LGBTQ+ rights! We are also selling raffle tickets to win a variety of fabulous prizes from our local business partners.

But I’m a Cheerleader is a 1999 American satirical teen romantic comedy film directed by Jamie Babbit in her feature directorial debut and written by Brian Wayne Peterson.
