Everything I Have Learned From Drooling Over Gillian Anderson
My queer movie crush, then and now
Oh, my sweet Gillian. Where do I even begin?
I must confess that, even though the first time I ever heard of her was during her X-Files days, I wasn’t a fan of the show. Yeah, I watched a few episodes because I felt the need to keep up with the culturescape, but I was never a devotee.
However, she would show her gorgeous face and unparalleled acting talent here and there. Mmm, did I already tell you I think she is super sexy and intelligent and a mistress of her craft?
Oh, yes, even though my first crush ever was a smart white dude, I always kept the memory of her in the back of my mind, which made me feel weird. After all, I was a straight woman! How dared I have steamy thoughts about her?
GB finds out she is queer.
Coming to terms with my queerness wasn’t a quick process. There wasn’t a sudden moment when I dropped my coffee mug while muttering to myself, “Oh, my god, I’m bi.”
