# Cecil B. Demented (2000)

Jun 22, 2026 | Rated 2.5 out of 5 | Dir. John Waters

“That’s just it, Honey, I’m not gay. I’m straight and I fucking hate it! Petey loves me and I can’t love him back. I tried. I kiss him, and all I feel is whiskers. I can’t take that certain thickness in his pants. I’m ashamed of my heterosexuality!”
