I was named queer by my queer colleagues when I lived amongst them when I first became an artist in the 80s. We were all queer, meaning that we were living in a world that felt self-determining for us and felt very much at odds with what we call the straight world. the square world, which was not necessarily to do with heterosexuality or homosexuality.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that. He's one of my marthers, my teachers. He went last year, but he and I had these miraculous children, and then I've been with Sandra for 20 years, and we're very happy, but we're all queer.
