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.

This is the way my best friend was growing up. We were 5 years old and I knew he was gay. Everybody knew. He never came out or anything, he never said he was gay. Just all of the sudden we were 19 and he was dating guys. He was more popular than most. Even in a shitty small rural town, I think most people respect somebody who is unabashedly themself.

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.

Fair enough, let's just remember these "Gen-Z'ers" wouldn't feel the need to make a dramatic announcement of it if Boomers and Gen Xers didn't make being gay out to be such an awful taboo thing. It may not be like that in some places anymore but I still live in a small town where my gay friend in high school regularly got harrassed while holding hands with his bf and teenagers still get sent to Pray the Gay Away camp, or whatever euphemism they're using now...conversion therapy? Homophobia's gotten better but there are still some backward-ass places in this country not to mention the world.

Opinunate ted especially the narration he did on pink flamingos. I know he was doing his best imitation of a Baltimore store owner that had -in John's mind- the ultimate Baltimore accent (and vehemently refused the offer/request to narrate)... When I first watched the film without knowing that little backstory I just remembered thinking "Awww! Listen to how young he is with his sweet wittle enthusiastic lisp!"

Iggy had his dick out, and that was all rock and roll. Patti's armpit hair showing? Well, Playboy said, no wonder people threw rocks at her. I remember thinking: 'I just may need to become a lesbian separatist when I grow up.' I wasn't impressed by the hypocrisy.

If I felt like that was repression, it would be a different story, but fortunately I don't have that issue. My outsider status comes from different factors entirely, likely mostly because of where I make my home.

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.

How about people who can't decide for themselves for different reasons? Fetuses clearly can't decide for themselves. Why would a woman give birth to a child if she knows she can't offer them a good life in any way? What if she were raped and doesn't want to have the rapist's child? So, it's ok to let her carry the child she doesn't want for 9 months and then make her go through a painful birth. You're basically saying a woman can't decide about her body while pregnant. How very thoughtful of you

You can see this in the way their fans have responded to the comings out of Neil Patrick Harris, Ellen Degeneres, Sir Elton John, Matt Bomer, Sean Maher, Alan Lambert, Matt Dallas, John Barrowman, Ricky Martin, Cynthia Nixon, Anderson Cooper, Nate Berkus and Sir Ian McKellan

I was much more naive when I praised that comment to the level that I did. Of course "unloved" kids can grow up and become a proper, even exemplary, member of society; likewise, a kid with well-meaning parents might grow up to do something awful such as murder. However... the sentiment behind the message is still clear enough: too many children, not enough love for them all. That's the fundamental point I agree with.

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. Straight people tend to be less homophobic & more supportive of LGBTQ2S rights when they realize their daughter/fave actor/athlete/lovely aunt/doctor is queer. All the queers who've come out over the years have made life easier for other queers like John Waters.

@okendido He didn't say it "made" him gay. He said he "knew" he was gay when he saw Elvis Presley. There is a BIG difference.

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.

Yeah same, I knew I was what I was from the beginning,, why announce it? I know who I am! I just really don’t care, be whatever or don’t be, it’s whatever.

Tim Blake Nelson and John Waters would make very believable brothers in an odd and hilarious movie.

I didn't have to come out. My mom finding pics of naked men in my room did that for me. She was totally cool with it, bless her heart.

south park made fun of the idea it becomes mainstream in the fact that gay people want to keep their own culture and be unique with that (not just like the same sex) - it was a very clever episode.

Why do you need to "come out? Why should you care what people think about you ?

I miss JW's gnarly teeth (as seen here). In recent interviews, I've noticed they are all straight and pearly white.
