Iconic filmmaker John Waters sat down with HuffPost Live and shared that he supports gay marriage not for himself, but for “straight gay people.”
Waters: “I campaigned with Governor O’Malley to make gay marriage legal, even though I’m certainly not going to get married. But for straight gay people, they like to do that kind of thing…”
When asked what he meant by ‘straight gay people,’ Waters responded:
Waters: “You know what I mean, gay people that want to be like normal. I like beatnik gay people… Hipster gay people that are embarrassed at how predictable some gay culture is. I think that’s actually pretty funny. Gay is not enough anymore.”
Waters also noted that at age 69, he’s embarrassed to be the same age as a sex position, and at that, a sex position he doesn’t enjoy. When asked why he didn’t enjoy the position, Waters retorted:
Waters: “Of all the sexual choices, you can’t concentrate on too many things at once. You have to focus! It’s because of the name. What other number is a sex act.”
