"There is nothing gay in this movie [Hairspray]. 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." - Fagulous Hairspray star John Travolta

"John Travolta is, like, one of the most gay-friendly people I know. He doesn't bring religion or Scientology into the workplace. And everybody on our set was gay. The producers are gay, the writers are gay, the composer and lyricist are gay, the director is gay, all of the choreography team is gay." - Gay Hairspray director Adam Shankman
