But in my head, I was agreeing with her.
I too had noticed that the belt and dance answer was really hot.
Now, maybe she was just blurting out how she felt in typically blunt Eichner style, but in doing so, and by not expressing any discomfort with the subject or simply ignoring it altogether, she let me know it was okay to be attracted to these men.
It was as if Madonna had handed my mother an entry point for being an ally, for letting me know that it was perfectly normal to be me, exciting even.
Madonna was the mechanism.
Madonna lost her mother when she was just five years old.
I would lose my mother when I was 20.
Life is fragile and unpredictable, and it can be cruel.
Mothers die young sometimes.
Me, Bambi, Madonna, all the greats.
But seeing Truth or Dare with your mother on Mother's Day 1991 and your mother telling you she thought Madonna's gay dancer was hot right after he makes out with another guy, that lives forever.

There's a little of that, but not much.
It's really about how, again, the artists we love raise us too, but also how my parents learned about what was important to me by watching the culture that I loved.
And that's a big theme in the book.
