John Waters: Hairspray Hubbub Is Hooey
Original
Hairspray auteur
John Waters, responding to the New York
Daily News' piece titled "Travolta in
'Spray Revolts Gays," argues, "It should have said 'Revolts
Gay,' because it's just one person" -
Washington Blade editor Kevin Naff - raising a ruckus. (
Naff's beef is with
Hairspray star
John Travolta, whose Scientology faith has anti-gay tenets.) As Waters so wonderfully puts it to the
News, "If [Travolta] was homophobic, dancing in [drag] with as many gay people as are working on this film, he would have had a heart attack and been dead."
