Well, now..
This is quite fascinating.
From an interview with Stephen Daldry, the director of The Hours and Billy Elliot, explaining his marriage to a woman:
"Lucy and I have known each other for many, many years, and we wanted to have kids. But if anybody asks me if I'm gay, I'd say, 'yes' because politically, it seems important to say you're gay. Whether that means you have to engage in gay sexual activity, God knows."
Now, as someone who has crusaded for bi visibility, I have to admit there's something there that rankles me, but on the other hand, he's honest about who he sleeps with, and that's pretty damned cool. I'm all for pushing the envelopes.
