Yep. It’s heavily implied in the book that she made the whole thing up, or just DIDN’T UNDERSTAND, because NO-ONE UNDERSTANDS. (Bonus points for discrediting a female journalist in a horrifyingly hyper-male environment.) Whether Richey was being provocative - he did seek out someone to offer the information to, and lbr, was a master of bluster - or truthful, which is also very possible all things considered - the main line I take from this ‘perhaps I wanted to make a point about my sexuality’, which I think is loaded as fuck.

James really doesn’t come over well in that article either, not that that makes Richey’s behaviour any better. Just urgh all round.
