One man's "Trash" is another's pleasure

But how is this film queer, you ask? Enter Holly Woodlawn, transsexual Warhol Superstar and Joe's on-screen girlfriend and landlady, Holly.
She hilariously derides Joe for his habits and histrionically and enthrallingly steals every scene in which she appears. Her presence in the film, though, activates the film's queer element, unlocking copious amounts of (pan)sexualities.

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side
Yeah, Holly Woodlawn is that Holly. Funny how many people here think they are being some sort of pioneer, and here was Holly doing it half a century ago.
