How Tegan and Sara’s High School Tells a Specific Queer Story

The nostalgia also allowed for an examination of how far things have come.

“It seems like everybody is queer now,” Clea joked, “which is amazing that it is such a conversation and there’s so much language surrounding it and kids are comfortable discussing it, but it was just not like that for a long time.”

High School, of course, also charts the path of Tegan and Sara’s early musical careers. But with how much things in the industry have changed since they started, do they think they’d be able to hack it as newbies in the world of TikTok and streaming?

“No,” Tegan said, prompting Sara to chime in, “I think we would have. You don’t think so?”

Tegan reasoned, “I think we were so passionate about music and we were so passionate about performing that we probably would have engaged with the platform.”

See that passion start to spark on High School, now streaming on Freevee.
