John Waters is a true artist’s hero. Unlike the woke mob that wants to exterminate all heterosexuals, John has zero contempt for anyone, and he transcended the queer uniform to get to the juicy part of life that the straight and queer have in common, instead of dividing us. All of my straight friends loved John Waters movies until they became woke. I could never understand that. I hope woke dies like disco music.

I had horrible low self-esteem until I read John Water’s book about his prison tour. He was the only person who ever said to accentuate your flaws. I was skinny, and I never fit into the business world. I couldn’t get a date, but a few years after reading John Waters it sort of ‘clicked’ and I went to art school & wore tight fitting thrift store clothes. At one point I was dating five girls. John Waters is awesome.

@@kds5895 - Great question… I don’t remember, and I just glanced at his books and I had no idea he had written so much! It was a book in a friend’s NYC apartment that I read back in 1996 on a visit, so it was most likely either “Shock Value” or ”Crackpot.” One phrase that stands out to me is John saying to lean toward your faults, or to dress toward them: “If you’re skinny, wear spandex and take diet pills.” He also discussed a tour he did of the American prison system. I’m sure both are good reads. I don’t think he published a book after them until 2003.

If you can't love your own children, what the fuck good are you? I am amazed how that kind of selfishness & complete lack of love is today treated as virtue. You "love" that statement? You love yourself. That's all anybody can know for sure by your words. If you are so bereft of human decency that you cannot love your own child, then never procreate. Don't punish an innocent baby who would probably be more decent than you could ever be. Sex for you is all about self-love anyway. To use the excuse that an unwanted child will grow up to be a murderer, and then to suggest that killing the child is somehow a solution is one of the most idiotic things a person could ever say. "We have to kill the innocent to prevent children from growing up & becoming killers of the innocent..." So, should everyone who ever had an abortion have been aborted themselves? Moronic. This is a world dominated by selfishness & without love. So sad.

My philosophy is simple, no matter how conservative you are allow people to be who they are so they don't have to suffer in society from abuse or be vindicated in real life for no apparent reason. Someone's private life isn't really anyone's issue. I myself come from a quite strict traditional environment when there was a lot of "male stuff" going on and a lot of division between men and women in society. Men bonded and did all important things together while women had their own world. Even discussing important issues was sort of exclusive to men. I myself being a juvenile womanizer sometimes had this longing for a brother I never had, the best friend at the same time. Same thing with looking for a father figure outside your family if you had a failed relationship with your father. This always has to come with lots of funny stories how other people think you're gay.

That was the accepted practice for centuries, particularly during the Roman era. I don't argue that, however. By "active" I do not mean "adult". Children, the mentally damaged, and possibly several other species, have brains that should be recognized as having personhood. But the brain doesn't drop out of the sky into the womb. It's developed. It doesn't "boot up" until at least the 20th week of gestation. Most OGYNs would put it closer to 23/24 weeks.

For all the 'He's right! LGBTQ2S people are so square with their 'coming out' bs". Waters doesn't discuss the political reasons for coming out, which is that it helps tackle homophobia.

All the queers who've come out over the years have made life easier for other queers like John Waters.

That is an excellent clarification. I would only add "with around 46 chromosomes" or somesuch, otherwise your definition would also include unfertilised sperm and ova. The argument between pro-choice and pro-life then gets very deep and complicated, and clearly contentious. My fundamental proposition is that abortions happen anyway and it's better not for them to occur in back-street clinics like they used to. We're never going to agree on that point but I can understand your point of view.
