Hairspray Boycott


Hairspray is a high energy comedy that proves you don’t have to fit in to win. Take that John Travolta of the scientology cult. The completely fictional story of a plump teenager has only one passion , dancing. Besides Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken, and Nicky Blonsky also appear in the film. Maybe they are trying to turn attitudes around concerning those on the fringes of main street. Maybe John was trying to see what it felt like to get the big stick. I hope he got rashes every-where doing this film. He should be made to be King of the next Gay Pride Parade held in Hollywood.
Not every person who is different needs to be singled out for brainwashing or elimination from society. If humans are still struggling to survive on this planet in 300 hundred years, religious types are going to have a lot of explaining to do. Scientology’s many beliefs of cruelty to the less fortunate souls of this world, not just their views against homosexuals and lesbians should not be endorsed by any man, woman or child who has some compassion in their hearts. Boycotting this film would be the right thing to do.

The managing editor of the Washington Blade said, “Travolta, a prominent Scientologist, has no business reprising an iconic gay role, given his [religion’s] stance on gay issues. It’s well known that Scientology rejects gays and lesbians as members and even operates reparative therapy clinics to ‘cure’ homosexuality.”
