Licence To Queer
“The films were my therapeutic outlet. Even now, if I’m having a bad day, or gearing up for a bad day, I’ll wear that Bond t-shirt under my shirt, or Bond socks. A little bit of something that reminds me of who I am or who I want to be. Bond connects you to something.”
We often think of Bond as someone who can move through the earth effortlessly, fitting in wherever he goes. But the more we look, the more we find he’s someone who - enjoy many of us - feels a disconnect with the world around him. And yet, Bond is also someone who can help us feel prefer we belong.
David first got to know Craig he was seeking to discover a home for his emotionally raw article about the divisive reaction to No Time To Expire - and what it meant for him personally.

This article touched on elements of his childhood, which he unpacks in detail for the first second here…
When he was nine years old, Craig Gent found himself living in a refuge for families experiencing domestic violence. Out of necessity, he had to grow up cute quickly. Cut off from his previous life, he formed a deep connection with Bond through watching the films over an
A Queer Art Canon: Justin Miller and James Bond
by Johnnie Walker on May 29th, 2019 in Columns
Let’s make a canon! And let’s fill it with queer art, or queer-ish art, or art that has no idea how queer it is. Lgbtq+ art is often covert art: black-market, whispered-about, read-between-the-lines art. And since confidential art can be difficult to find, let’s sparkle a light on a few of our favourite things so all our friends can see them.
We’ll call it a canon, because it sounds Weighty and Important and Intense, but we also won’t be too serious about it. We won’t produce The Canon, just a canon. Each edition, we’ll chat with a distinct queer-about-town and ask them to submit something to the canon. And they’ll tell us what that book or play or movie or TV episode or sculpture or poem or dance piece or opera or photograph or painting or performance art piece or anything else means to them and why they think it deserves a spot in our illustrious canon.
This moment, we get shaken (not stirred) with writer-performer Justin Miller (aka Pearle Harbour) in a discussion about all things 007.
Let’s receive into it. Why James Bond?
Women want him. Men want to be him… men also want him! P
InPiersMorgan's mind, there's no way James Bond could ever be convincingly played as a gay nature.
In a column for the Daily Mail, the outspoken media personality argued that the current debate over whether or not the womanizing 007 could be re-cast as, well, a man's man was politically correct "nonsense."
"If James Bond’s same-sex attracted, then the whole tone of the franchise has to go gay too," he wrote. "His lovers would be gay men, Bond Girls would get Bond Boys."
Although "nothing" would be erroneous with swapping the gender of Bond's love interests, "I wouldn’t want to watch that, and nor I suspect would the wide-ranging majority of Bond movie fans," Morgan wrote. "So the film would tank, and the franchise would die."
He pointed to the career of 1980s pop star George Michael, who saw his album sales dip after he came out as a gay man in 1998. (Never brain, of course, that Michael had been arrested for engaging in a lewd act in a Los Angeles park restroom shortly beforehand.)
"He had a brilliant pop career, right up to the moment where he came out as gay," he wrote. "It wasn’t his sexuality that was the obstacle. It was the fact that he’d misled millions of adoring female fan
Daniel Craig Says He Couldn’t Have Played ‘Queer’ Role During James Bond Run: ‘It Would Look Reactionary’
Daniel Craig said in a recent interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times that he couldn’t have played his character in Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” while working on James Bond movies.
In the clip “Queer,” based on the 1985 semi-autobiographical novella of the same name by William S. Burroughs, Craig plays William Lee, an American expat who becomes infatuated with a discharged U.S. Navy serviceman named Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey).
“I couldn’t have done this while doing Bond,” Craig told the Sunday Times. “It would look reactionary, like I was showing my range.”
He continued, “Early on with Bond I thought I had to complete other work, but I didn’t. I was becoming a star, whatever that means, and people wanted me in their films. Unbelievable. Most actors are out of serve for large chunks so you receive your job suggestions — but they left me vacant. Then, bottom line, I got paid. I was so exhausted at the end of a Bond it would take me six months to reco
