JOHN TRAVOLTA has blasted gay rights
activists who plan to boycott his new movie HAIRSPRAY, insisting he is not
homophobic.
The Saturday Night Fever star plays super-sized woman Edna Turnblad in the
latest adaptation of the kitsch musical -- but he has been accused of having "no
business" reprising an iconic gay role by critics who claim his Scientology
religion is homophobic.
However Travolta has hit back at critics of his faith and insists he is not even
playing a gay icon.
He tells The Scoop, "There is nothing gay in this movie. 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."
