Quote

I was a closet straight. I think I wanted to be gay because I thought it was arty and interesting. And also, I was phenomenally shy with girls.

My gayness became quietly accepted and, shock of all shocks, life went on.

My being gay was something of not great interest to me.

Finding out that I was gay when I was older was a shock and a disappointment.

I came out to my parents as gay, and then I realized, you know, four or five years later, that I wasn't really happy, no relationships were working, and there was something missing in my life, and you know, I was doing drag, performing and stuff, and I realized through that arc that I was much happier doing that.

From day one, I have always been open about my sexual orientation.

My depression at the end of Wham! was because I was beginning to realise I was gay, not bi.

Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.

My kind of gay, meeting a woman and falling in love, is a different experience because it wasn't anything about 'Oh, I've always been gay and I'm breaking the chains.'

For some strange reason, my gay life didn't get easier when I came out. Quite the opposite happened, really.
