Is David Bowie straight?

Buckley's view of the period is that Bowie, "a taboo-breaker and a dabbler ... mined ual intrigue for its ability to shock",[142] and that "it is probably true that Bowie was never gay, nor even consistently actively ... he did, from time to time, experiment, even if only out of a sense of curiosity and a genuine allegiance with the 'transgressional'."[143] Biographer Christopher Sandford says that according to Mary Finnigan, with whom Bowie had an affair in 1969, the singer and his first wife Angie "lived in a fantasy world [...] and they created their biual fantasy."[144] Sandford tells how, during the marriage, Bowie "made a positive of repeating the quip that he and his wife had met while '******* the same bloke' [...] Gay was always an anecdotal and laughing matter. That Bowie's actual tastes swung the other way is clear from even a partial tally of his affairs with women."
