We’ve been had. That “ghost” in the hit film Ghostbusters, Slimer, is not actually a ghost. Apparently he’s a “sassy,” loud-and-proud, “fluorescent homosexual beast” who gives grown men the courage to come out of the closet. Who knew?
In what has to be the strangest “coming out” story of all time, a blog posted Monday by Horace Richdale credits the film Ghostbusters for giving the blogger the courage needed to come out to the world as a homosexual. Richdale explains how his life was forever changed by Slimer, who, at one point, is depicted as a “green, hairless teenager from space who loves eating garbage and is unabashed in his gayness.” Richdale adds that Slimer “flies around leaking his festive sour discharge wherever he goes, flaunting his queer identity.”
