Walker conjugated the term “lavender” from the days of the Mattachine Society when it was code for gay passion as “different” from conventional romantic hues—she moved across the spectrum of affection (now symbolized in the pride flag) from same-sex attraction, opposite-sex attraction, both sex attraction. Lavender-to-Purple charts Celie’s sexual experience throughout her hardship. (“I might be black, a woman, I might even be ugly. But I’m here!”) Plus, Walker and Spielberg explicitly link “purple” to an appreciation of life and God’s wonders. “I think it pisses God off when you don’t know notice the color purple!” says blues songstress and Celie’s lover, Shug Avery.

Perhaps this normalization of the humane in spiritual terms is what “intellectuals” object to as “overripe.” It pisses some people off when gayness is seen as something other/more than a social principle or represented in terms that don’t comply with secular convention—or when idealized by figures who don’t come from society’s dominant class.

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is better than any of these.
