SEAD O’CONNOR: THE GAY TERVIEW
I grew up Ireland and there was no such thg as “gay” the ’70s. I had never even heard of “gay, ” except for there was a female impersonator who had a big TV show the ’70s, a guy lled Danny La Rue.
I ed to love his show, but I never knew there was any such thg as gay until I was 17.

So I had actually never heard of any such thg as gay until I went to the Hippodrome, and put this way, I was really jealo that I was never gonna look that fuckg good. I actually fd the whole gay muny an enormo spiratn to me bee, J, I’ve never taken the kd of sh gay people take.
No, I know, but I suppose a way what I’m tryg to say is that ’s easier to take sh when you are spired by people such as those the gay muny. You told Entertament Weekly 2005, “I’m three-quarters heterosexual, a quarter gay. ” What actn of you is gay the days?
