Kate Clinton - I'm happy to say that I'm a lesbian in the world. I know there are people who don't want to be called women comedians, but I think it gives a path to the fact that we live in extremely patriarchal times.

Virginia Woolf - Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.

Ellen DeGeneres - In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better ...more...

Margot James : Lesbian Icon: Who? When? Where?

James was born in Coventry in 1958. Her father was a self-made businessman, her mother worked in a factory then became a housewife. She was sent away to Millfield aged seven. 'I never knew any different really ... but obviously it's a weirdly young age. I think times have changed now.' She attended the London School of Economics and worked in the wine trade afterwards.

She is no militant gay campaigner, but she has always been open about her personal life. She is in a 10-year relationship with fashion stylist Jay Hunt,  co-host of the BBC makeover programme Would Like To Meet. As she has observed: 'You can't be outed if you're not trying to be undercover. I didn't want to be worried, looking over my shoulder the whole time.' She lives in London's South Kensington with her partner.

Margot James has been called the most glamorous politician around. Much has been made of her blonde highlights, tailored suits and penchant for Prada handbags. She's a self-made millionaire who sold her PR company to media conglomerate WPP for £4m to fund her political career. ...more...
