I'M COMING OUT

John Waters: Coming Out Seems So Square. Have Gays Become Humorless?

The self-appointed Pope of Trash never ever really came out because everybody already assumed he was quite queer with any announcement. But now that coming out and fighting for rights has become an important part of LGBT life, he wonders whether we’ve lost our humor and our rebellious spirit while. He doesn’t understand getting outraged over any perceived anti-gay insult (like when GLAAD got upset over Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives) and demanding that every gay person look and act alike. After seeing how many commenters hated a Starbucks barista for singing about how much his job sucks, I’ve wondered the same thing.
