VIDEO: John Waters Talks About Coming Out

We're posting this YouTube video of the famous Baltimore filmmaker, Calvert Hall alumnus and Lutherville native, in honor of National Coming Out Day.

Almost everyone knows John Waters as the eccentric, eclectic mind behind the original Hairspray, Pink Flamingos and other cult classics inspired by our fair Baltimore City. 

But not everyone knows him as a Lutherville native. 

I'm posting the above video today, which posed the question to Mr. Waters, "How Did You Come Out?" because today is National Coming Out Day.
