Kristen Stewart’s turn in Rose Glass’ new thriller “Love Lies Bleeding” wrestles with issues of queerness and parental cruelty with unusual and admirable directness, writes Noah Berlatsky.
The biggest threat to queer kids is too often their own homophobic parents. Both pop culture and political discourse acknowledge this and at the same time, nervously avoid it. It’s treated as a shameful open secret, not unlike the closet itself. Rose Glass’ “Love Lies Bleeding” wrestles with issues of queerness and parental cruelty with unusual and admirable directness.
youth report elevated rates of parental abuse and lower levels of closeness to parents. That’s a major reason why according to a Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt University study, far more individuals reported adverse childhood experiences , such as emotional, sexual and physical abuse, in comparison to straight adults. Abuse often leads
youth to flee their homes. Queer homeless youth are also more likely than their straight peers to engage in survival sex, such as trading sex for shelter or food, according to a study published in the LGBT Health journal. Jackie begins the movie homeless and she trades sex in order to get a job reference, because she’s estranged from her homophobic family and doesn’t have many options.
