John Waters is glad that people feel comfortable coming out of the closet. And yet: “I wish some gay people would go back in. We have enough”

“In a rare at-home interview, the cult director opens up about being a ‘happy neurotic’ and why he’s a capitalist now…He has mixed feelings about gay culture becoming mainstream: ‘I miss it … I’m for gay marriage. I don’t want to do it, but I certainly think people should be allowed to, and I wouldn’t vote for anybody that would be against it. But at the same time, why do we have to be good now? Why can’t we be villains in movies?’”
