My pant-suit fancy for POTUS hopeful Hillary
ELEANOR MARGOLIS AND THE US TABLOID MEDIA SHARE A STRANGE OBSESSION WITH CLINTON’S SEXUALITY
ELEANOR MARGOLIS
If there’s one thing I absolutely love to own up to, after a few beers, it’s this:
I fancy Hillary Clinton.
Usually I’ll be accused of having a “thing” for powerful women, but – as far as I can tell – it’s more about the pantsuits. Which, I guess, go hand-in-hand with the power thing. That I can’t help.
Although I’m not drunk now, I promise, I’ve decided it’s about time I committed my crush on the (hopefully, please god) next POTUS to print. Unfortunately, this means I have something in common with a fair few right-wing American tabloid hacks, and that is my obsession with Clinton’s sexuality. Having said that, thankfully the likes of ultra-conservative bollocks-chatting radio host Glenn Beck (who has suggested that Clinton is gay) and I have different definitions of the word “lesbian”. I define lesbians as women who are exclusively sexually attracted to other women. The American far-right, more often than not, would define “lesbian” as “degenerate witch”.
