Yoko Ono: John Lennon "Had a Desire" for Same-Sex Experimentation
In a long new conversation with the Daily Beast, Yoko Ono has shared some startling new information about one of the most thoroughly documented and well-known musicians to ever live, John Lennon.
Along the course of his talk with the 82-year-old artist, writer Tim Teeman steers the conversation toward relationships and sexuality. (Background: Ono is receiving an Icon Award at the Attitude Awards in London, "in recognition of her art, of being an outsider, of doing things defiantly her own way and of supporting LGBT people.")
Ono says she's especially proud of adding this accolade to her shelf. "There was a closeness I felt to gay people," she says. "We both suffered a lot for being different.” By we, she means she and her husband, the Beatle. The couple "had a big talk" somewhere along the road, one that resulted in the conclusion that "basically, all of us must be bisexual."
