John Travolta doesn’t understand why several gay leaders have demanded that the gay community boycott “Hairspray.” Activists are calling for a boycott, because they believe Scientology is homophobic and John Travolta has no right playing a character that was originally played by a gay icon.

Johnny boy said, “There is nothing gay in this movie. I’m not playing a gay man.
“Scientology is not homophobic in any way. In fact it’s one of the more tolerant faiths. Anyone’s accepted.”

Ok, I’ve seen the musical of “Hairspray” and it’s gay. It’s true gay. It’s shine in my ass, dancing on platforms, wigs afire gay. Surrogate Tracey Turnblad being a fat teenage girl with a gay teenage boy and there’s your whole damn story. There’s a man playing her mother to full drag effect! And Johnny Travolta is that man!
