CARE at Mines:     Crisis Assessment, Response and Education At Mines

Originally written and released in the 80’s, Heathers contains artifacts of the stigma against the LGBTQIA+ community in the US. Mines Little Theatre does not encourage this behavior in real life. Instead, please realize the impact upon the portrayed characters, and take it as an example of what not to do.

Hearing and seeing negative depictions of LGBTQIA+ people can lead us to internalise these negative messages. Some characters in Heathers have internalized homophobia, which you can read more about here.

In Heathers, many characters are bystanders to offensive jokes and slurs. We encourage you to not follow this example, and instead speak up. Here is how you can do so.

You can also contact oSTEM, the official organization at Mines for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people (LGBTQ+), as well as straight supporters & allies.
