Gently With a Chainsaw

Oh, God. Right now I'm drowning in this paper for my film class. I have to offer a queer reading of popular film. I chose Heathers for it's lezzie undertones but mostly because I just love the movie. If I'm going to be spending ten to twelve pages on a movie, I figured it might as well be one that I like.

My main argument? Veronica and the Heathers are lesbians, and Veronica's defection is essentially a defection from her true, queer identity. Heterosexuality, represented by her relationship with J.D., is actually the deviant act. And so on. And blahh.

Seriously, does anyone have any insights to offer? This sucks, big time.
