silversolitaire

You've called yourself 'pansexual' – but do you ever feel pressure to decide which team you're on?

I don't feel it, but I think there is a pressure to be black or white when most people I think are quite grey. If you're forced to make a decision it cuts you off from a whole legion of experience. And then there's that thing of, "I am this now, so therefore I wear this, I like this ...". When you've been through so much to become gay, why do you need to go back to being a stereotype and go into a gay ghetto?

And have all your cultural tastes defined for you ...

Exactly. Gay culture is so mainstream now. I went to this party last night and I just thought, my God, all these gay men are so tasteless! What happened?! There were no girls there at all. How boring!

No Bette Davis?

Ah, she's always there in spirit. The only girls that were there last night were the scary ones that are more butch than the men. I saw a woman I thought was a man in drag – I was a little drunk. She came over and said hello, and I thought oh, trannies love me. And then I realised she was a woman. Thank God I didn't say how's the world of drag or anything.
