I'm new to Wikipedia so that is why I am not editing the page itself. I would prefer it someone else makes the edits if they agree with me. I think part of the cast description is inaccurate. "Evanna Lynch as McKenzie Pryce, a mean-spirited, puritanical Mormon, who believes the LGBT community to be evil." I just finished watching the movie and I don't believe this character was Mormon, but some other undisclosed Christian sect. First, the movie never states that McKenzie was Mormon, just a member of the "Christian click" and "OMG club". Second, if she was Mormon it would be counteract two of the jokes (which imo were hilarious) that the writers were playing at. Joke 1: McKenzie is mad at Shley (stated as Mormon) because she is trying to get a gay best friend. McKenzie accuses Shley of going along with the Mormon thing because her pastor stated that the gay conspiracy was trying to get polygamy legal. She specifically said "pastor" which I think rules out her being Mormon since I don't think they have pastors (protestants i think?). The joke is making fun of the slippery slope argument conservatives tend to use when it comes to gay marriage. Also making fun of the fact that Mormons have associations with "sister wives" which I think she mentions. This joke doesn't work if McKenzie is Mormon. Joke 2: Mormons are hypocritical. The Mormons in the movie seem to want to be super friendly and nice to people while believing that they are going to hell. The Mormons were trying to convert "the gays" to "only be gay for Jesus". Both disclosed Mormon character saw certain behavior "sinful" behavior as acceptable and ok under certain conditions that they would rationalize to themselves (except for swearing lol). The joke doesn't work if McKenzie "the mean-spirited puritan" who never compromises on her standards is Mormon. So I would like to see the description changed to either "...a mean-spirited, puritan..." or "...a mean-spirited, puritanical Christian..." (in one scene she wears a citation of a new testament verse on her face and if I remember correctly she also has a symbol of a cross in one scene) as I think that is more accurate. Hope this helps :) -

Redlink
In the section "Plot", it had a red link on the words "gay best friend" (Wikipedia does not hav an article with said exact title). So i simply removed the link, so said words currently don't link to anything. Okay? As i mention on my User Talk page, i think red links look ugly.

 * Hello, per WP:REDLINK, "Red links are for subjects that should have articles but do not. They are not only acceptable, but needed in articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it. Only remove red links if you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject." Red links should not be removed because they are ugly. Regarding this topic, it appears to be a valid one for which an article could be created: The New York Times, Advocate. Google Scholar shows various result here. I'd suggest going ahead and creating such an article in a stub form. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 18:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you think there should be an article "Gay best friend"? Or do you think said term should redirect to this article, "G.B.F. (film)"? Solomonfromfinland (talk) 17:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think it's fully possible for there to be a Wikipedia article for that term, or at least gay friend which could cover "gay best friend" too. It should not redirect here, though, since the film's specific title derives from the common use of this term. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 16:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If there is to be an article "Gay friend", what should the article say? Solomonfromfinland (talk) 05:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've actually started a discussion at to find out.  Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 11:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
