I was 11 when he came on [BBC chart show] Top of the Pops singing "Starman," and he languidly straightened his arm around his beautiful blonde lead guitarist. Of course, it was all artful. What a wonderful moment of education to see this strange alien bisexual come from another planet to save us. I was just entering puberty, so I felt strange. I think I've always been bisexual, essentially, and there have been long periods of my life where I've identified as exclusively gay. I've always had a sense of curiosity that that moment in Bowie's career sort of encapsulated--it was all about possibility, really. And it was all about sexual liberation, but sexual liberation at the time didn't look sexy enough. You know, the '70s were quite a gloomy time. But Bowie looked fabulous, and I think there was a feeling of that's what you could become yourself. That's what brought me to him.
