It’s upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren’t an issue all the time. It’s funny that people say it’s a departure, because I’ve been acting since I was a child. I’ve played three gay roles out of hundreds.
I did not want to be the gay artist, and I talked to my manager all the time, like, I don’t want to lead with that. I didn’t want people to look at me like that’s all I am.
I’ve been looking forward to doing an album, but it’s really sad to see how many doors have been closed because of the gay thing. I thought it was about the music.
A liberal pretending to be a conservative? That’s like a straight person pretending to be gay to get greater acceptance.
I’m always very proud of belonging to three minorities: gay, Jewish, white South African.
Being queer you’re supposed to adore figure skating. It’s a sport, not an art. I love the costumes and hate the music and of course I worship Johnny Weir because so does he. Also he’s real. It’s a full gay thing and it always has been.
