Very long interview with Alison Hennegan. JB touches upon terms ‘black’ and ‘gay’. Brief extract from the interview: ‘His dislike of the words ‘gay’ and ‘black’ doesn’t obscure his understanding of and for them. “The terms are constructing but there’s no way to get through this labyrinth, one way or the other, without dealing with the labels”’.
