Clementine Ford talks exclusively to DIVA about her sexuality“The truth is that I’m not technically out yet. There. Put that in your magazine. For me, there’s never been a distinction about anything to do with sexuality, so there was no declaration to be made. My siblings and I would bring home men and women, and as long as they were human it wasn’t a big thing.”
Her reasons for choosing to come out
“I never want to put a label on my self – but knowing that not everyone comes from such a liberal place, when something like Prop 8 [banning gay marriage in California] comes out, you realise it’s important to stand up and be counted. A little gay kid in a small town is more important than whether I want a label.”
She talks about the rumoured relationship between her and co-star Kate Moenning
“Yes, they’re tricky – and clearly we did our jobs right if there are rumours. But I hate to squash them, too. Whatever I say people are going to have their own ideas. Basically we’re really good friends now and people can draw whatever conclusions they want.”
On whether she is currently dating
“Yes, I am, but it’s new and I wouldn’t call it a relationship. I don’t want to say too much and jinx it.”
On her co-star in the L-Word and mother in real life Cybil Shepherd
“Mum and Jane (Lynch) have such a great energy together, on screen and off. They’re still friends. I want them to be together so badly; it’s my secret dream.”
The March issue will be on sales February 12, 2009.
