->''Often in fiction, bad stuff happens to gay ladies, and then the narrative just gives up on them. That’s the end! That’s it! Buh-bye. Meanwhile, stories bend over backwards with supernatural zeal to keep straight folks happy and together with whatever love interest they met five minutes ago. [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope I wanted to subvert the shit outta that.]] So bad stuff is happening to Becky, but the narrative says Fuck No. [[AbusiveParents Her]] [[HeteronormativeCrusader dad’s]] attacked by her girlfriend in the woods. Her dad is followed by her [[TrueCompanions best friend]] and somebody else on a friggin’ motorcycle. Her dad is hunted down by a goddamned [[NonPoweredCostumedHero SUPERHERO]]. And they all work together, somewhat unwittingly, to shut that jackass down. Physics is bruised a bit, but [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality that’s the point.]] [[SubvertedTrope That’s the subversion.]] Becky’s not going down. The universe will melt in the face of her. And she will get that shining final moment with her father where she backs away, all grins, [[FlippingTheBird double birds.]] The last word. Because goddammit, she gets to win this time. [[CallingTheOldManOut Fuck you, dad!]] God answers lesbian prayers.''

->''"It tells the story of a down-on-their-luck LGBT protagonist who has an aim in life. But in order to achieve that aim, they must overcome a series of increasingly difficult obstacles. On overcoming these obstacles, they not only achieve their initial goal, but also become a richer, wiser and happier person in the process. But then … wait for it … in a wild and crazy twist that the audience never sees coming … they don't die."''
