Secondary
Pink Flamingos offers a transgressive and camp portrayal of identity, celebrating drag queen Divine as its protagonist. The film champions extreme individuality and non-normative characters, using its outrageous humor to challenge societal norms. Its net impact is positive, affirming the agency and worth of its outcast figures against conventional morality.
The film consistently portrays Christian morality and symbols in a blasphemous and satirical light, using them as a foil for its celebration of extreme transgression and 'filth.' The narrative champions characters who openly defy and mock traditional religious values, positioning them as liberating rather than oppressive.
