Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)

The film features Betty, a masculine-presenting woman, whose appearance and implied identity are a recurring source of humor. The comedy often stems from misgendering and family reactions, framing her gender expression as a punchline. This portrayal, lacking affirming elements, leans towards reinforcing stereotypes rather than validating queer identity.

The film portrays Christianity, specifically the Baptist tradition, as a foundational and generally positive aspect of the Jenkins family's identity and community. While comedic elements arise from family dynamics and church services, the faith itself is depicted as a source of tradition, moral guidance, and communal bonding, treated with respect within the narrative.
