*AllohistoricalAllusion:
** The opening montage gives us the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Steve slogan]] used by [[HeteronormativeCrusaders Christian fundamentalists]] in their protests. Except instead of promoting Adam and Eve it actually defames them by insisting that God has made Adam and Steve.
** It is also fairly easy to spot Barack Obama's 'Yes, We Can!' slogan with '(Unless You're Staight)' added to it.

* HaveIMentionedIAmGay: Could be applied to both the short and the movie. Even though the setting makes it clear to us that EveryoneIsGay, we don't get to see all that many displays of affection between same-sex couples and only get a heterosexual sex scene in the film. However, this is more than [[JustifiedTrope justified]], given both the short's and the movie's anti-bullying message.
* HereditaryHomosexuality: Everyone except the main characters.
* HetIsEw: A commonplace attitude.
* [[HeteronormativeCrusader Homonormative Crusader]]: Pretty much everyone around the main characters in both stories but specifically:
** Ashley's teacher from the short.
** Reverend Rachel, full stop.
** Guys from Ryan's fraternity take it to the extreme [[spoiler:by kidnapping, beating and ultimately murdering Ryan for being heterosexual.]]
** Bullies in both the short and the movie.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple:
** Ashley's/ [[AdaptationalNameChange Emily's]] mothers. Vicki is seen coming back from work, while Karen stays at home in the short. Vicky is also the one, who wants her daughter to get into football and pays for her coaching and demands to know what happened when Emily comes home [[spoiler:after getting beat up and defaced]] in both versions. Karen in the meantime acts more emotionally and gently and [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure seems to be more encouraging when it comes to her daughter's hobbies]].
** Jude and Kelly in the movie. Kelly is a sports player and generally acts more like OneOfTheGuys, while Kelly is more of a GirlyGirl.
** Movie also gives us Mr. Thompson, Emily and Ian's drama teacher, and his husband. The latter is seen cooking and doing chores, while the teacher himself works on rewriting ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' for his school production.
* NoBisexuals: Bisexuality does not get addressed. At all.
* NoHeterosexualSexAllowed: PlayedWith. Heterosexual sex is considered necessary for procreation but actually enjoying it is considered perverse.
* OnlyHasSameSexAdmirers: Everyone by default.
* OutOfTheClosetIntoTheFire:
** In the short:
*** Ashley [[spoiler: gets chased through the school by a gang of bullies and brutally beaten up after they find her trying to kiss Paul. She comes home, gets seen by her parents, who start arguing about moving away and harm that might come to her brother, leading Ashley to lock herself up in the bathroom and [[DrivenToSuicide slice her wrists with razors]]. [[GayngstInducedSuicide She bleeds to her death.]].]]
**In the movie:
*** Jude [[spoiler:gets attacked by a rival football team, while her teammates just stand around, watch and even high-five at the sight of it. The attack is so severe that she ends up being hospitalized and is [[TimePassesMontage later]] seen using crutches to walk with one of her arms bandaged.]]
*** Emily [[spoiler:is at first harassed by a tidal wave of hate messages and called names and is then beaten up by Paula and other bullies at the end of the movie. Her parents freak out when she comes home and end up arguing about her being sick, leading her to [[DrivenToSuicide attempt suicide]]. She survives but still...]]
*** Ryan gets it the worst. [[spoiler:He is tied up, kidnapped, beaten up and left to die by a group of religious fanatics.]]
* PersecutionFlip: TheMovie
* StarCrossedLovers:
**Ashley and Paul in the short
**Ryan and Jude in the movie.
* ThinkOfTheChildren:
**Vicky orders Ashley to take a longer road to school to avoid going by heterosexual couple's house.
**In the movie re-writing Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet to be heterosexual and thus more historically accurate gets mister Thompson.
* WantedAGenderConformingChild: In both short and the movie Vicki wants her daughter to join the football team, which in that universe is considered to be a true feminine sport.
* YourNormalIsOurTaboo: Heterosexuality is tolerated at best but usually violently prosecuted.



*DownerEnding: It is implied that [[spoiler: Ashley dies after her [[GayngstInducedSuicide suicide]] [[DrivenToSuicide atttempt]].]]

Originally, ''Love is all you need?'' was a 2011 short film by Kim Roco Shields, detailing the life of a heterosexual theater-loving girl falling for her male classmate in the world, where [[HetIsEw heterosexuality was tabooed]] [[PersecutionFlip and prosecuted,]][[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything just like homosexuality is in ours]]. After a period of initial obscurity the short suddenly rose to fame on Website/YouTube, prompting Roco Shields to make a full-length movie in 2016. The movie expands upon the story from the original short, while also adding another story of a star quarterback Jude Klein falling in love with Ryan Morris, a shy but sweet journalist with both girls facing [[OutOfTheClosetIntoTheFire dire consequences]] after [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset others find out about their sexuality]]. The film also goes into more detail about the attitude towards heterosexuality than the short did: the church officials [[HeteronormativeCrusaders preach against it, as do officials of all levels]], there are derogative slurs for heterosexuals and the bullies of all ages are more than happy to brutalize people for their 'deviant' sexuality.

''Love is all you need?'' is a full-length movie made in 2016 by Kim Roco Shields, following the popularity of her 2011 short film of the same name. It takes place in a small town in Indiana and revolves around two love stories. In the first one we have a star quarterback Jude Klein with Ryan Morris, a shy but sweet journalist. Then there is also Emily, a theater-loving teenager falling for her classmate Ian. Seems quite ordinary, right? But wait, there is a twist. This story takes places in a universe with [[PersecutionFlip inverted attitude towards sexuality:]] [[HetIsEw being gay is the norm and heterosexual people faces prejudice, bullying and misunderstanding of the society at large]], supported by religious teachings,offensive slurs and casual misogyny from adults and children alike.

''Love is all you need?'' is a full-length movie made in 2016 by Kim Roco Shields, following the popularity of her 2011 short film of the same name. It revolves around two love stories. In the first one we have a star quarterback Jude Klein with Ryan Morris, a shy but sweet journalist. Then there is also Emily, a theater-loving teenager falling for her classmate Ian. Seems quite ordinary, right? But wait, there is a twist. This story takes places in a universe with [[PersecutionFlip inverted attitude towards sexuality:]] [[HetIsEw being gay is the norm and heterosexual people faces prejudice, bullying and misunderstanding of the society at large.]]
