I knew I recognized him from somewhere.

I have no idea who he is, but this is my favorite quote ever, as someone who's both a goth/punk poser and works in cybersecurity.

John waters. As a young straight kid in a religious household in the south he was the first person that showed me there can be humor that involves lgbtq+ people that isn’t hateful or dismissive, followed by David Sedaris. And strangely enough it was through comedy that I first felt empathy for people I had been indoctrinated to hate. He’s definitely out there and quite honestly a lot of his stuff isn’t to my taste but he’s got some great material

If you want a movie of his that’s very accessible, I recommend Pecker. The stuff he’s most known for was just a bit too out there for my tastes.

he wrote and directed the musical Hairspray and the movie Pink Flamingos. Both of which are worth it if you don't have a predisposition to hating campy, lgbtq+ or musicals.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

If you have that predisposition you should hatewatch them

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 9 points 3 hours ago

I'll take a look. This is the second quote from him that resonates with me prety deeply, he seems like a cool guy.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Hey, my favorite coffee shop has at least two comfy chairs at each of their... Five? I think they have five locations now. Way to go dudes. Anyways I can shrimp up whenever I visit. I don't want to say they did it just for me but I am a regular and if I can't shrimp I have to go home. They are the best for looking out for me.
