The poster at the beginning was Melissa Ethridge. Huge deal in the 90s that she was gay. The 90s was a wild time between anti-gay accusations (groomers/pedos) and acceptance. We saw more people being gay in public- then Will and Grace *really* helped "mainstream" it. There was still super heavy bi-erasure though, heh. Bris is what a circumcision is called in Judaism. A bris is performed by a Mohel- usually a rabbi but not always. Traditionally the Mohel does the cutting and then uses oral suction to remove blood, it's called Metzitzah b'peh (likely the source of the rumors that Jews eat babies or drink baby blood). Some babies have contracted herpes via this method in NYC due to certain Mohels, some have died. The entire thing is called a Brit Milah or Bris but many reform Jewish families will go with a Brit Shalom, which does not include circumcision at all.

Desert Hearts is an icon movie. It’s the first movie that portrayed lesbians in a positive human way. Before this movie they were almost alway shown as mentally unstable and predatory. It was also one of the first movies where there was no violence against the women. Although it wasn’t a big budget it had a bigger budget than most movies at the time. It is considered one of the best lesbian movies of its time and opened the door for more mainstream movies with storylines that weren’t negative.

@malingor7042

28 күн бұрын

Desert Hearts did NOT have a big budget. It cost 800 thousand dollars. ALL IN. The director, Donna Deitch, remortgaged her house, and a bunch of lesbians donated too. I saw it when it came out ( I was 18) and I cannot emphasise ENOUGH the impact it had. It was ground breaking but that's largely because it was directed by a lesbian ( other films, however well-meaning had been directed by men) and she stood up to the censorship they tried to impose, and it was based on a book by a lesbian, who gave her permission to make it how she wanted. This s why ppl making their ''own'' films is important, whether thats LGBT or POC or whoever. Another great ( but sad) movie is The Childrens Hour, based on a book by Lillian Hellman who's had her own struggles ( woman, Jewish, possibly bi) and the film was as forward-thinking as it was allowed to be in 1961..

This was in contrast to the earlier campy innuendo about being gay by people such as Paul Lynde, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Liberace, and led to healthier coming-out actions by people such as Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres.

I remember watching this because a friend of mine and his sister originally thought it was just a cheerleading movie. LOL I also was not prepared for this movie when first saw it. So funny, and so relevant.

Cheerleading is actually a very dangerous sport and there are surprisingly no real regulations, etc. considering. My sister was a football cheerleader in high school. She is very petite and was one of the ones they threw in the air and was at the top of pyramids. I remember getting a call when I was in college because she had to be taken to the hospital after a practice because they dropped her... It ended up dislocating her knee or something. I can't remember the actual injury, but she had to wear a boot for a while and we were lucky that was all that happened. Love this movie. I saw it in the theater when it came out.

I just love when Ashleigh gives us movies for Pride month. Such a beautiful ally. Speaking of which, I know you've reacted to some of gay icon Cher's films, but there's still some you're missing Silkwood (with Meryl Streep and Kurt Russell), Suspect (with Liam Neeson and fascistic dictator-loving Dennis Quaid) and Mermaids (with Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci) - just a few recommendations of the beautiful, talented Goddess of All 😉

Oh Hilary is Rose the stalking neighbour from Two and a Half Men, and Clayton is the longhaired quarterback from Remember The Titans.

Mink Stole... Megan's mother is also in the original Hairspray.

Happy Birthday to me, another video from Ashleigh! This brings back memories. I was a punk rocker in high school (2000 ironically) and somehow wound up with a gorgeous cheerleader girl friend. Kids in the hall were shocked seeing us kissing and we loved it. Actually we went to see TITANIC the night before we went on a cruise. YEP. Can't make that up! Mistakes were made.

12:16 a bris is a ceremony performed on jewish boys during their first days of life. It's basically a circumcision but it is performed by a rabbi who makes a blessing and usually is followed up by a big family celebration.

It's like having a character from Italy and having them say "Mama Mia" at the start of every sentence. It's lazy writing.

I cannot **WAIT** for _Hairspray,_ director John Waters is a gay legend. You haven't watched any of his stuff yet = _Serial Mom_ and _Polyester_ are a scream. _Pink Flamingos_ is incredibly shocking and gross but it's still a great time. And _Cecil B. Demented_ is a fun take on action films from a gay perspective... _Hairspray_ might even be his best. I. Cannot. WAIT!!

God bless you for being you. I wish I knew you IRL. not only are you THE BEST at what you do but you’re also a sweet sincere beautiful person inside and out. Never stop being you !!! XO

4:30 !!!!!!! So crazy. I saw this once about 20years ago and revisited it a few weeks back. I forgot how strange they looked with facial hair.

This is the reaction I feel like I joined the channel for, like way back when. 5 out of 5 stars for this reaction. Loved it!❤✌️

Yessss 🎉🎉. I have been waiting for this reaction 😻😻. When I saw the notification, you probably heard me yelling “thank you” all the way back from Canada 😂😂

This movie is so amazing. And yeah Hilary's actor is Melanie Lynsky who is kiwi. She married to John Ritter's son

Thank you very much for your little speech at the end. I am well in my thirties, came out at 20. Yet it’s always nice to hear that kind of message ❤. Also : I took my meds already, thanks for the checking in haha. And I think you missed a post-credit scene where you see Megan’s parent attending a PFLAG meeting ❤️ (parents and family of lesbians and gays).

Has Ashleigh watched "American Pie?" I thought she had, if so, I guess she didn't notice Natasha is in it. 💙

The lady in the pink suit was Montana Moorehead (Milton) from Soapdish.

i am so excited you finally got to watch this. i love this movie. its so funny. its such campy fun. and its a sweet story. great cast. so happy you liked it.

ZOMG you did this! I'm sooooo happy!!! I love this film so much! Melanie Lynskey xxx

Larry was played by Richard Moll, who was one of the funniest characters on the old sitcom Night Court.

You know what they say about ex gay conferences. The first night you pick a prayer partner, the second night you pray together, and by the third night your prayers are answered.

Such a gem. I remember watching this my first year of uni and loving it.

I love John Waters movies, so Hairspray (the original) is gonna be fun. It’s probably one of the more accessible for newcomers, lol. Another good one for Waters newcomers is Serial Mom.

Making me cry at the end there :)! Love you too girl!

A more modern movie that covers queer teens dealing with compulsory heterosexuality is The Miseducation of Cameron Post. A sorta related movie to this one is Yes, God, Yes. I recommend both.

I've been waiting for this video for-freaking-ever! Great reaction and thank you for being such an ally.

My brother was a closeted bisexual with a preference for men. Mom was in complete denial even after she caught him in the act with his best friend.

3:35 - Natasha Lyonne's mother is played by Mink Stole who's in a bunch of John Waters' movies.

"It feels illegal for me to have my eyes open right now" - girl I about fell over! 🤣 Us Deafies don't close our eyes when someone is praying at a table ... it always feels sacrilegious to watch ... but HOW DO YOU KNOW when the prayer is over, and what was even SAID if you don't SEE their lips stop moving!? And no sweaty palm-holding, neither... can't sign along and hold hands! As a religious-adjacent person (not religious, but supportive and close with many people who are), and Deaf ... it's always an interesting experience! I can at least say that much! Tried it once at a friend's house... closed my eyes and felt a tap-tap... "um, we all started eating already" and everyone was just amused and STARING. Whoo boy that feels even worse!

I refuse to believe that you worked at a radio station but never heard Melissa Etheridge.

She is from Tennessee it was probably a country radio station LOL

I saw this at the Toronto Film Festival. Afterwards, Clea DuVall did a Q&A with the audience. It was a lot of fun.

This was actually the first thing I saw Natasha in. It was several years later that I saw "Slums of Beverly Hills". Which came out two years before.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

6:39 that lady is one not to mess with in the movie Gloria.

The way you came for the 2000's has me clutching my pearls 🤣
