This week’s magazine features an interview with out actress Clementine Ford, in which she opens up about her move to daytime television, her girlfriend
and why talking about being gay on a soap opera is like asking what it’s like to be straight in a dentist’s office. (Answer: “It’s just my life.”) While Ford doesn’t find the news about her sexuality to be all that noteworthy, she was warm and open about her relationship with singer/songwriter , telling Soap Opera Digest: Every time I do an interview, she asks, ‘Did you mention me’ We go to events together and we don’t try to hide anything. We’re just a couple. We’re both like, “I can’t wait to show you off.” The couple had a chance to do just that at last month’s charity event, , which was spearheaded by Perry herself. Ford and Perry showing one another off at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s An Evening With Women in April You’re probably familiar with Linda Perry, even if you think you’re not. In addition to being a popular singer in the late ’90s, Perry has written and produced some me ga-hits for current recording artists, including Pink’s “Get This Party Started,” Gwen Stefan’s “What Are You Waiting For,” Alicia Keys’ “Superwoman” and a half-dozen chart-toppers for Christina Guilder, including her gay-inclusive hit song “Beautiful.”
