Nothing wrong with being gay or transgender and I'm sure he's a good actor.

but I just find him creepy with
his intense/heavy amount of makeup and over the top outfits.

He was a drag queen. And how dare you.

Like I said......... I never said there was ANYTHING bad about being gay or transgender. I personally just pr Fer John Travolta playing the mom in the 2007 version of Hairspray.

My problem with John Travolta is they put him in the fat suit with all the prosthetics. It just didn't feel right. I think they should have had Edna be played by a woman if they were going to make the character so fake. I used to love Travolta but now I find him more creepy than Divine.

Now Travolta was creepy! Divine was one of a kind, larger than life.

He wasn't transgender. He was a gay man who liked to dress up as a woman. Look up the definition
