- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Jane's so-called friends from the beginning of the movie.
- Closet Key: Taylor is one for Jane, who realizes she's gay by her attraction to her.

- Forced Out of the Closet:
- Jane, by her shithead brother.

- It Doesn't Mean Anything: Freaked out after they have sex, Jane gives this line to Taylor.
- Lipstick Lesbian: Jane isn't super feminine, but feminine enough in her clothing, with long hair, and Taylor exceeds her. Ms. Walcott is even more so also, with a slightly old-fashioned feminine hairstyle and clothing, while her girlfriend is a bit less.

- Their First Time: Jane and her girlfriend Taylor clandestinely have sex at Taylor's house (Jane's, not Taylor's, first at least).
- Twofer Token Minority: The only person of color in the cast is Jimmy, a Black gay man. His identity gets discussed when he tells Jane that while she's a lesbian, she'll get it easier due to being White.
- We Used to Be Friends: Jane's three friends at the beginning of the film turn rather mean when Jane, admittedly, stops hanging out with them because she's hanging out with Taylor, but when they find out she's gay, they turn nasty, gleefully tormenting her.
- Where Everybody Knows Your Flame: Taylor takes Jane to an LGBT club where they dance.
