It's a Queer World After All

Hasn't pop culture always been a little queer? From professional sports to last week's episode of Nip/Tuck, we've all enjoyed a little queer. So lets break it down and see where it lands us. BE SURE TO CHECK THE ARCHIVE ON THE RIGHT FOR OLDER POSTS BY MONTH.

Film-Pink Flamingos by John Waters

Pink Flamingos follows the competition for the "World's Filthiest Person," and famously, includes a shot of Divine eating dog poop. 

Supposedly, that scene alone earned the film its NC-17 rating, as it was unsimulated. The MPAA must have weak stomachs.

Either way, the characters attempt to carry out every depraved act they could think of, hoping to seal their victory. 

Great film. Eventually, Waters would find his way into mainstream culture with films like Hairspray and CryBaby.

Below, you'll find a clip to the infamous scene of Divine. 
Have a look!
