![Twenty two-year-old, New Brunswick-based Drew Hudson was six the first time he watched 2004’s pop culture phenomenon #MeanGirls . When he’d stay at his mum’s apartment, her neighbour would always put on movies that he “definitely wasn’t supposed to watch, because I was way too young,” he tells PinkNews. Out of all of them, Mean Girls stuck. For a generation of #queer people who entered the jungle that is high school in the mid 2000s, Mean Girls and its characters resonated deeply, depicting outsiders fighting for survival and newcomers finding their tribe. Most notably, for gay men, Daniel Franzese’s “too gay to function” Damian was an awakening. “Damian, as a queer person, was probably the first instance of a gay character I ever saw on screen [where I was] explicitly told, ‘this guy’s gay’,” Drew says. While queer stories were practically non-existent in 2004, those that did make waves were largely tied to homophobia, or the trauma of coming out, like 2005’s Brokeback Mountain. In that sense, Damian broke the mould. In the 20 years since the film hit our screens, Damian’s actor #danielfranzese has been made aware time and again just how much character marked a turning point for queer representation. “Growing up as a young performer who loved pop culture, there wasn’t a lot of representation of [queer] people unless they were ridiculed or used as a punchline,” the 45-year-old actor tells PinkNews. “Damian was able to walk down the hallway, and not be thrown in a locker or have his head down to the toilet. [He was] able to unequivocally be himself, and I think that was for a lot of queer people an important thing to see. “As a person who has unknowingly been a beacon of hope for a lot of people, by just showing up, I realised how much representation matters.” Of course, Mean Girls also became a training ground for young queer women, too. Full time artsy goth girl and rumoured lesbian Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan) – who is portrayed as an out lesbian in the stage adaptation and its new film counterpart – was claimed as a member of the community long before her sexuality was confirmed by writer #TinaFey . #meangirlsmovie #reneerapp #meangirlsmusical #lgbtq](/video/cover/7325856702346120481.webp)
