Famous commentator, Christopher Hitchens, alludes to bisexual experiences
”Every now and then, even though I was by then fixed on the pursuit of young women, a mild and mildly enjoyable relapse would occur and I suppose that I can ‘claim’ this … of two young men who later became members of Margaret Thatcher’s government. For this very reason I can’t really give any more names.”
Excerpt from an upcoming book by Christopher Hitchens, as quoted by the Times Online. Hitchens is a well-known intellectual and prolific writer for numerous publications, and has authored many books as well. He has been an outspoken advocate for gay freedoms.
Hitchens is also recognized for his unflinching atheist arguments, his biting criticism of conservative hypocrisy, and being an independent thinker. He once voluntarily underwent a waterboarding procedure, and shocked many of his left-leaning admires when he said he was in favor of the US military taking on Islamic extremists. Even Mother Theresa was singled out as a subject of Hitchens’ unyielding scrutiny for being an accidental media figure who opposed contraception and reproductive choice. Much of his fame comes from his frequent television appearances on shows like “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and is one of YouTube‘s most commonly posted political commentators.
