* CoitusEnsues: Erin abruptly has sex with Cameron, without any buildup, before acting almost like it never happened. It's {{played for drama}} as both are in a [[CureYourGays conversion therapy camp]] where Erin had been trying to repress herself, with this being apparently her giving in after a long time.

* TheRunaway: The film ends with [[spoiler:Cameron and her two friends riding a truck away from God's Promise]].

* TheNineties: The film is set in the early 1990s. It's recent enough to be TwentyMinutesIntoThePast but it's before the quickly changing attitudes towards LGBT people of the mid-1990s through 2010s.

* TransEqualsGay: The teachers from the gay conversion camp God's Promise believe that the teens are "gender confused". Adam, on the other hand, is a Lakota two-spirit, which they conflate with being gay on the same basis (two-spirit is an indigenous umbrella term which can mean different things).

* LipstickLesbian: According to the counselors at [[CureYourGays God's Promise]], one of the girls is lesbian because she's ''too'' feminine. More specifically, Jessica's into pageants and her beauty led to her feeling inadequate in her femininity, which in turn led to her same-sex attraction. Cameron, Coley, and a number of other lesbian girls all also have traditionally feminine looks.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Adam is two-spirit and was sent to a gay conversion camp by his step-father. "Two-spirit" can refer to either someone's gender expression, gender identity, or sexuality. Adam does not clarify what it means in his case.
