[In response to Kevin Naff's (editor of The Washington Blade) proposed
boycott of film "Hairspray" (2007) by gays, which claimed star John
Travolta had "no business" playing an iconic gay character] "I am
stunned this has gotten that far. He (Naff) has made the dumbest claims
on the entire planet. Everybody involved in 'Hairspray' - all the
creators are gay. So John has no problem with people being gay - me,
the writers, composer, John Waters - all gay. John's personal beliefs
never walked onto my set. I never heard the word 'Scientology.'"
