Famous taboo film director John Waters admitted he found drag queen shows for kids funny in a recent interview with local North Carolina outlet, 'The News & Observer.'

Drag Queen Story HourThe director behind gross out cult classics like the X-rated"Pink Flamingo" and 1988’s"Hairspray," weighed on conservatives’ objections to the recent cultural phenomenon of adults performing drag shows for children, some who are only toddlers.The multi-talented actor-director John Waters weighed on drag shows made for child audiences.

He told the outlet,"I built a career on being banned. Nowadays if they ban a book, it’s the best thing that can happen, because there are sections in bookshops — right up front, near the cash register — that say ‘banned books.’" GOP BILL WOULD END FEDERALLY-FUNDED DRAG QUEEN STORY HOURS, OTHER SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT PROGRAMS FOR KIDS

How will he ever recover from negative fox news coverage?

He probably didn't 'admit', as oppose to 'say' it. Arguably one of the least controversial things he's ever said, but you're gonna make a whole news piece out of it? Reeks of desperation, but thanks for getting our filthy king trending.

It's hilarious how John Waters is co-opting Faux News into promoting his show with rage bait quotes. He's playing their game but with class and humour. 😂

Good for him.

Because they're the Squares that hate the Drapes. FOX viewers SHOULD watch 'Cry Baby' and maybe they'll do some self reflection.

Are you trying to cancel… John Waters 🥲😭😭😭

Zut alors! Ne pas Jean des eaux!!!

Remember when Tucker Carlson complained that the green m&m’s new shoes weren’t sexy enough? I think he’d approve of Divine’s shoes.

The intern who wrote this tweet is funny AF.

Oh no, y'all aren't going to try to cancel him are you?😅

lol, Fox News thinking they get at John Waters

Tell me you've never watched a single John Waters' movie without telling me.

Drag shows for kids are objectively funny. They have to be to keep their attention. Have y’all never met a child?

Wait until y’all find out Ursula from Disney’s Little Mermaid was inspired by Divine.

Only perverts and the paranoid think children have any thoughts of sex or being gay when a drag queen reads to them.

Ridiculous fake news organization dubbed 'lying liars' admit that they like republicans because a lot of republicans are paedophiles.

Perhaps conservatives should watch Pink Flamingos. Crackers really speaks to red state America. He receives a gift only a mother can give and kills and eats one of his family’s chickens. A real life down to earth dude.

Congratulations! You discover him like decades late 😂 Now, please, do an article about his movies, I bet you and your audience will be very pleased with them 😂😂😂

hell yeah

Fox News viewers, you may not know this but John Waters was quite conservative when he started out. You will L O V E the conservative cinema masterpiece Pink Flamingos. Especially the ending. Don’t miss the ending!

Have you actually been to a drag queen story time? They read kids books appropriate for their age but do exaggerated voices. It IS funny and kids love it. There's nothing to do with sex.

“Drag show performances for toddlers,” 😂😂😂.

John Waters rules

LOL!! But Pedocoach Gym Jordan is your hero...

GASP!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! I mean, where the fuck have you been? Dopes

In 2023. This is an actual Fox News bit. Lmao.

First day out of the cave? You gotta keep your fools riled up. You're pandering to fossils. I hope they enjoy their tiny anger fix.

Waters schtick has always been to shock. He’s harmless.

I hear this monster even reads books!

King

'Why doesn't someone think of the CHILDRENS?!?'

That's some sick stuff

lol at the dullards who haven't seen any John Waters movies

Said the guy who made his name making a movie where the seminal scene is a drag queen eating dog shit. Definitely someone we should not be listening to

its the american way..

🤬🤬🤬

But this drag queen is welcome
