Yes she was
Missy had a crush on Torrance.
If you see it and agree then great, if not, then keep living in your little bubble.
I do not live in a bubble and yet I do not see what you see. Evidence please.

I can not prove to you what something you do not choose not to see.
shareWhat are you talking about? I have no problem with girl-on-girl love. But I do not recall seeing that kind of connection between them. So would you provide evidence, i.e. scenes that lead you to that conclusion?

It's just there, either you see it or you don't. I am not the first person on these boards to acknowledge this and I will not be the last. I will admit it is subtle, but the subtext is indeed there, I can not(or do not wish to) make you see something you do not already see. You will just have to trust me on this one- or not.....
shareYou keep pointing the finger at me, as if I am the one with the skewed perception. Maybe YOU are seeing something that isn't there?

Wow, sorry if I touched a nerve, but I am just calling like I see it. Let's cut to the case, you want me to point out and declare things in this movie that stand out and speak to me. I could do that, but then it would leave me open to your (already) proven speculation. I do not want to debate over the tedious inner workings of the subtext. And at the end of the day judging from your previous posts it would not matter.
shareI do not understand you. You seem to be on the defensive from your very first post, claiming that you see something that others do not. And that those who do not see it are either blind or ignorant. But when I ask you to back up your argument, you act like I have problem.
Perhaps this is a case of people seeing what they want to see.

You hit the nail on the head. There is a problem. The fact that I have to justify my observations is proof on it's own.
Fine, I did not want to go here but..., I am guessing that you have never had an attraction to someone of same sex .....
No. The problem is that you treat your opinions like fact.
You missed the nail on your second point. I happily swing both ways. Men and women are beautiful to me.

Then your "gaydar" must be on the fritz....
shareAs far as I can recall, Missy was potentially bi or lesbian. But I did not see anything between her and Torrance. All I asked for was scenes that made you think this. You have refused to suggest any.
So I suppose we are done here.
"You will get precisely the news you deserve if you accept mediocrity."
Nick Clooney
What!!! ok then were in the movie are your scenes to show that Missy was potentially bi or lesbian, other then being called an uber dyke...!!??
shareYou are the one that raised this topic...and now you want ME to provide evidence? No, this is getting stupid. You carry on thinking what you want to think. I'm over it.
"You will get precisely the news you deserve if you accept mediocrity."
Nick Clooney
That was my whole point! Why do I have to prove subtext? And to someone who claims to be "living the life" none the less. All I can think is you must be very young and not very gay. Other wise why would you be giving me such a hard time about all this?????
Missy was so pissed that Torrence was into her brother (and on the night of their sleepover). Missy was persuaded to join the cheerleaders because Torrance showed up at her door. Missy wanted to quit the torro's but stayed, I wonder why....

Damn pjf, you're really stupid. First off why couldn't you just have stated the scenes you just did to start with instead of getting into a bitch fight for about 10 posts for no reason? On top of that you're completely wrong and reading way too much into those scenes. I'm not very young and am totally gay so you can't use that argument on me like you tried and failed on the other poster.
By the way your second point is completely wrong. Missy finally decided to become a cheerleader because her brother was making fun of her and she wanted to prove him wrong. Your other two are wronbg also but there's no real need to get into them because they're just plain stupid.
SkaterDave who are you to call me names? Maybe you are not seeing the movie as I saw it.... does that make my opinions wrong and yours right?
With that being said I disagree with your statement. I think Missy is not the kind of girl who would do anything against what she wanted/believed just to "prove her brother wrong."
[deleted]
Wow. It seems you just want to disagree for the sake of disagreeing. You say Missy was into Torrance...then jump all over yummy for saying yes, Missy was potentially bi or lesbian. Um...wouldn't a so-called attraction to Torrance qualify as being potentially bi or lesbian? You list Missy's uneasiness to Torrance's attraction to Cliff as an "indicator" that Missy was crushing on Torrance, herself. I dont think that was the case. It's difficult when a friend falls for a sibling because what would happen if it doesn't work out? You'd be put in an awkward position. That's all there was here. OP, you really need to learn how to debate. You weren't being attractive for your opinions, just asked to clarify. You took it WAY too personally.
