Preview: Our interview with Rufus Wainwright
“Gay marriage will not be the same as straight marriage. There won’t be a way to disassociate from the history we’ve had. We’re not just going to become straight. We have tasted from the poison chalice.”
– Rufus Wainwright, in an excerpt from our interview with the eccentric gay musician ahead of his appearance with the NSO on July 31.
The full interview, in which Wainwright discusses music, LGBT equality, marriage and what his gay fans meant to him, pick up an issue of Metro Weekly or click here.
