In "She's the He," two best friends pretend to be trans to catch the attention of girls, leading to unexpected self-discovery and laughs. "Coley & Sonya" follows a budding lesbian romance, inspired by a hit song and book by Hayley Kiyoko. Lastly, "Leviticus" delves into the horrors of conversion therapy in a small town, where two boys face supernatural consequences for their love. These films cater to queer teen audiences while offering engaging storytelling and representation. Get ready for a summer of diverse and compelling cinema.
