Richies, for Pride Month we bring you a true hero to - and champion of - the queer community. A filmmaker who brings an oddball sensibility and counter-culture vibe to the mainstream. Director John Waters has been marching to the beat of his own drum since he was little boy, doing twisted puppet shows at birthday parties and drawing with black crayons. Born and raised in a Baltimore suburb, John knows early on that he’s different. And he embraces it. His early films like “Pink Flamingos” are so deliberately gross and funny that they earn him the nickname “The Pope of Trash.” But behind the shock value is a real artist. He eases his way into the mainstream flicks like “Polyester” and then “Hairspray.” John Waters’ lasting film legacy is to embrace and celebrate society’s weirdos.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
