At True Directions, Megan meets the founder, strict disciplinarian Mary Brown (Cathy Moriarty), Mary's supposedly heterosexual son Rock (Eddie Cibrian), and a group of young people sent to "cure" themselves of their homosexuality. Following this confrontation, Megan is sent to True Directions, a reparative therapy camp which uses a five-step program (similar to Alcoholics Anonymous' twelve-step program) to "convert" its campers to heterosexuality. With the help of "ex-gay" Mike (RuPaul Charles), they surprise her with an intervention. Combined with Megan's interest in vegetarianism and Melissa Etheridge, her family and friends suspect that Megan is in fact a lesbian. She does not enjoy kissing Jared, however, and prefers looking at her fellow cheerleaders. Arsenio Hall was approached for the role of Mike, but he turned it down because he was uncomfortable with a gay-themed character.Seventeen-year-old Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is a sunny high school senior who loves cheerleading and is dating football player Jared (Brandt Wille).Rosario Dawson was also considered but never asked because the executive producer suggested a Latina actress would be wrong for an "All-American character".
