Gillian Anderson: I'm Sexually Fluid

I refuse to put a label on my sexuality - as Betty always says we're all "sexual". And Gillian Anderson agrees:

"I was talking to Out about gays and choice, and the view that you can just choose not to be gay in some way. I decided to talk about it now because someone with whom I was in a relationship a couple of decades ago — a woman — passed away about a year ago.

I was talking about her and, in the context of the gentle conversation we were having, I thought I would say that I have had a couple of relationships with women. I always knew I still liked boys. Being gay was never something that I identified with 100 per cent, because I knew that for me it wasn’t the only way.

There are so many teenagers confused about their sexuality, and I’ve been aware of the need for being open about fluid sexuality."

God, I love her.

Gillian Anderson, Dr Betty, and my wife

I agree with Dr Betty and Gillian Anderson. We're just 'sexual'. A couple of nights ago my wife and I were discussing sexuality and orientation, and she surprised the heck out of me by saying, 'Anyway, I think in the end we're all just sexual.' The reason this shocked me is because I know she's not really familiar with Dr Betty's work (though I've told her about it) and I know she's never heard Betty express that opinion. It's a conclusion my wife apparently arrived at on her own. I'm proud of her.

I love her too.
