Booksmart and LGBTQ: Brand-new Movie Brings Diverse LGBTQ Representation
Post submitted by former Editorial Producer, Print and Digital Media Rokia Hassanein
Actors Noah Galvin’s and Austin Crute’s roles in the new movie, “Booksmart” — in theaters today — is bringing diverse LGBTQ representation in a clip enriched with LGBTQ youth navigating their identities.
“Alan basically gave me as Austin the liberty to examine queerness in a more organic feminine energy way,” said Crute, the singer, songwriter, producer and actor who plays Alan, “an eccentric musical theater kid,” in the movie. “I went to school in Georgia at a confidential Catholic school. I’m a pastor’s kid so I grew up in the church. I did not have any room to be queer at all, and nobody around me was openly queer.”
Crute, who identifies as queer, noted that this is the first time he’s played a character who’s queer, and it’s been a part of his journey with his identity.

Gay Scale: For each review, I’ll rate the motion picture on my 50 SHADES OF GAY SCALE to let you know how far it tips in our favor. To paraphrase my favorite line ever from Roseanne (I know…I know…don’t @ me for it!): This film couldn’t be any gayer if its name was Male lover Gayerson. Booksmart is deliriously, unapologetically gay. It’s a solid 50 on the Gay Scale.
So many great films have arrive from the “Teens Hanging Out All Night” genre. From American Graffiti to Dazed and Confused to Superbad, they’ve careened from one crazy real moment scenario to another and left us taking that ethereal walk of shame in the morning. Now, just in time to queer up this tradition, comes Booksmart, the main attraction directorial debut of thespian Olivia Wilde, and written by a committee of women (Katie Silberman, Susanna Fogel, Emily Halpern, and Sarah Haskins), and it’s a hilarious, charming, slyly subversive addition to the canon.
BFFs, Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein), start their last day of high academy at the top of their class after a lifetime of hard studying. While their peers seemingly partied their futures away, these two social outcasts seem to have laid the groundwork for what l

Delta came under flame after a person on Twitter complained last weekend that the movie she saw on her flight had slash the lesbian cherish and kissing scenes in the 2019 movie "Booksmart," but included the heterosexual ones.
