'''''Boys Don''t Cry''''' is the story of the life and death of a young [[Transgender|transman]]ed man named Brandon Teena. His legal name was Teena Brandon, but that was unknown to the gang of misogynist homophobic rednecks he joined.
 
They accepted him as one of the guys, and he even started dating the sister of one of these new friends. Of course, when they "discovered" that he was assigned female, they considered him to be a lesbian. Homophobic hate-crimes ensued.
 
''Boys Don''t Cry'' was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2019.
 
Not to be confused with [[Men Don't Cry]] or the boy band from a ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode.
