* PreserveYourGays: [[spoiler: All the teens are LGBT+ and none of them are targeted by the killer. The queer members of ''the staff'' however... This makes sense then as it turns out that the killer is LGBT+ too, a member of the staff who's targeting the others for their abuses.]]

This makes sense then as it turns out that the killer is LGBT+ too, a member of the staff who's targeting the others for their abuses. Although in the broadest sense, it's averted with several counselors who are themselves gay but [[BoomerangBigot chose to aid and abet in the camp's cruelty]].]]

* TheProtagonist: While the film has an ensemble main cast, it's clear that Jordan is the film's central character. This is evident in the climax where they are the one who confronts both [[BigBad Whistler]] and [[SympatheticMurderer the killer]].

Added DiffLines:

* HairContrastDuo: Veronica, a brunette, has a more fiery temper and rather butch style. She's contrasted to Kim, a gentle, shy femme blonde.


Added DiffLines:

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Kim is a sweet, feminine blonde who's easily intimidated and really wants to conform by being straight. Veronica, a more fiery, aggressive butch punk girl, insists there's nothing wrong with being gay, resisting any demand for changing.


Added DiffLines:

* SexStartsStoryStops: Veronica and Kim having sex, then later Stu with Darwin, really come out of nowhere with their doing this not adding anything to the plot.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Owen acts like a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who only wants to give LGBT+ teens the option of changing assuming that's what they want, and acts very chummy toward them. It's soon revealed he's a deeply queerphobic, abusive man who holds ultra-traditional views on gender, while using brutal methods attempting to "convert" them.

It still counts per the existing But Not Too Bi trope.


* ButchLesbian: Although she's actually bisexual, Veronica fits the butch stereotype quite well, with short hair, masculine clothing, and aggressive attitude (as that was toward the conversion therapy camp staff, one can't blame her), ending up with LipstickLesbian Kim.

Her bisexuality is also an InformedAttribute, as Kim is the only one Veronica shows attraction to.
* ButNotTooBi: Veronica tells other people she's bisexual, though she only shows attraction to Kim, a LipstickLesbian whom she meets (of course, the guys in the film [[IncompatibleOrientation are mostly gay]], so it's not surprising).
