Righto so this is what it says in the title really. Do you, or have you ever had an LGB hero? Or maybe someone who you look up to or who inspires you?

Well, I know they're fictional, but probably: Remember, this was playing on BBC Radio before the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the UK in 1967. | |

MMutie can I move in with you?! I love Julian and Sandy, my parents used to play Round the Horne tapes in the car on long journeys when I was little. I'm certain all the polari warped me. It's sad that polari's dying out, I like to quite pretentiously throw a few bonas around and refer to my hair as my riah frequently. I suppose for me I have several homo heros. The one I idolise and feel the greatest affinity to has got to be Quentin Crisp. He never felt a need to fit in and describes how he wore nail varnish, pierced ears and dyed his hair at a time when 'for a young woman to wear eye shadow she'd have to work on the streets'. As a camp femme I feel far more in common with Quentin than many lesbian writers really. Plus I suspect my mothers constantly dressing me in boyish clothes and supressing my early interests in makeup or girlieness at a young age has definitely pushed me in the flamboyant direction as an adult.
