♪ Hey, Tigers house ♪
I've came out to more of my teammates,
been bonding with them more.
I feel good now that I'm like, open about being gay.
- [Girl] One, two.
- No one's treated me different so that's good.
Let's go Tigers.
(upbeat music)
- I'm about ready to eat.
- I'm hungry.
I have not been able to open up to my mom
about being gay yet.
- Wow, this is,
- That's a big salad.
- That's a lot of food.
It is.
- Coming out to my team definitely built my confidence up
so I'm ready to tell my mother.
I'm hoping she'll be accepting
and that she'll still treat me like she did yesterday.
- I wanna meet the boyfriend before we leave.
- I don't have a boyfriend.
- Who'd you tell me she was dating?
- Tyren.
- Tyren is not my boyfriend.
- Whatever you wanna call 'em, they just good friends.
- No, he's gay.
- He's too cute to be gay.
(laughter)
- So,
I have a comment.
Um, (laughs)
- What?
- [Woman Off Camera] You pregnant?
- No!
(laughter)
No, um, remember how I told you that
I have a friend that I'm like hanging out with all the time?
And then you assumed
that it was like a boyfriend and what not?
- Yeah.
- Well, I never told you my friend's name.
- Okay, well what's his name?
- It's Kim.
- Kim?
- You said Kim,
Kim, wait, what you say?
- Kim?
- Kim,
- Tim?
- Kim.
- He's asian?
- It's a girl.
Did you hear me?
- You said it was a man named Kim.
- No she said it's a girl.
(eerie piano music)
- Y'all playin' too much.
Are you gay?
Are you really?
- Are you serious?
- But,
- So wait a minute,
you're dating another girl,
how long have y'all been dating?
And when were you gonna tell me?
Does your daddy know?
- [Woman Off Camera] Oh, (beep)
- Munchie, you're serious.
- Yeah.
- I never saw this coming,
you're a cheerleader,
did that just start happening
when you was on the cheerleading squad?
- No.
- From the other people or something like that.
You really like this girl, I mean what's,
what makes you like her, what is that?
- I mean, what makes you like a person?
- Have y'all actually like tried to just,
anything other than date and kiss?
- Yeah.
- Oh my god.
Is she the only girl you ever messed with?
- No.
(intense music)
- Oh, Munchie, it's okay, Munch,
I cannot believe, Munchie, is everything gonna be okay?
- Do you like guys?
- I'm not attracted to them.
- Oh.
- I'm just more concerned about her safety.
- She can handle herself.
- I'm not just talking about emotionally,
I'm just talking about
making sure nobody gon' hurt my daughter.
Or the coach decides they don't want her
on the squad anymore.
- Coach, what if she finds out,
are you gonna be kicked out of school?
- No, that shouldn't have anything to do with it.
- It's just, okay, I don't want to say it out loud,
are you the boy or are you the girl?
- Do I look like a boy?
- Neither does the other girl, I'm sure.
Does she?
- No.
- Well, I mean, what am I supposed to think?
I thought gay happened out there, not right here.
My daughter's a cheerleader,
she's not gay,
my daughter loves to cheer,
she wears skirts,
she flips, she keeps her hair long and pretty,
that's what she does, she does that.
She don't do that.
- I understand that.
I do agree that I think it's a fad.
- And I'm angry 'cause I didn't see this coming.
- Oh my god,
- I mean what am I supposed to do Desiree,
- It's really not that serious.
- [Mom] It is that serious.
- No, it's,
- Desiree look what you just told me.
Do you realize what you just said to me?
How am I supposed to respond?
- You're acting in such a crazy way, like,
you keep turning around like,
ooo, how am I supposed to react,
I'm doing this, this, this, this, this,
you turn it into something about you.
It's not about you, okay, I can make my own decisions.
- I guess in my mind, I don't understand this gay thing.
- It isn't normal, do you think it's normal?
You think it's okay, like, it's just what it is?
- You were just going to church a while back,
how does that make you feel,
when you walk into the church?
- I feel regular,
- And we're praying,
- I don't be burnin' or nothin' when I walk in there.
