I spend much of my time—as is tradition in queer theory—re-reading texts differently, to uncover the hidden queer subtext in popular culture. Scotland's former first minister says online gossip about her was "part of the reason" behind her decision to resign.

After being hit, one woman went to the police station only to be told that “the man who hit you deserves a prize, he was right to beat you up”. Yet much of their fascination and fun for the modern reader comes from the moments we remember that these are physical letters, being written and sent to each other. But the thing is, when you spend most of your days thinking queerly (that is, making the familiar strange, particularly with regard to sexuality and gender), you can’t help but see the world through rainbow glasses. Twitter links to TLS reviews, and endless snapshots of Alsatians and spaniels would sift through our fingers in lieu of this magnificent paper trail.So, why not re-read the lives of actors themselves, given that we can be 99% sure that the narratives produced about them by tabloids and other press are also entirely fiction? The Gates’ former clientele recount the many stories of love, heartbreak, friendship, scandal and sanctuary that played out in the club, including the venue's appearance in a Hollywood film. Evanson, who is ten years older than Swift once commented, “Taylor is a 40 year old in a 19 years olds body”, which is just the kind of thing you’d expect an older girlfriend to say about their younger lover. Instead of lesbian, gay or bisexual, the term most commonly used by Vita and Virginia to describe their "proclivities" is "Sapphist": a euphemism after Sappho, an ancient poet of sensual verse about women, who lived on the Greek island of Lesbos (inspiring, too, the word ‘lesbian’).

If you know that we exist, you may start looking for us in your own communities, and in your own families. It has struggled to gain stability since the end of a civil war in 2005, and when it does hit the international headlines, it's mainly this image that is portrayed. The boy crushes of Swift are heavily interrogated in the media, and her relationships with women are (for the most part) understood as purely platonic. That’s where she met her new “best friend”, who dresses in a very masculine way, is single and, in my view, obviously a lesbian.When Vita is published by Virginia and Leonard’s Hogarth Press, she sends multiple letters within the same parcel, one for her editor, one for her lover. She’s sitting at a table in an open-air restaurant, her arm around a young woman whose hair is styled in thin cornrows. They hear about them through loose local networks, both on and offline, and through friends of friends. Starting off as a meeting place for bohemians, it became lesbian-only under the watchful management of the enigmatic Gina Ware and her sidekick Smithy until its closure in 1985. DEIDRE SAYS: What’s important, regardless of her sexuality, is that she is not treating you with either love or respect.

But I include this point here because it started a bunch of rumours about Swift’s sexuality, which is important for the next point. But she's sure she won't be recognised, because when she goes to meet her girlfriend, she removes the hijab she wears at home.
