If you’re reading DIVA, odds are you’re already familiar with Hayley and her extremely homosexual output. The multi-hyphenate with millions of devoted fans is a popstar, bestselling author and, now, filmmaker. In the pages of our new issue, Hayley talks to DIVA about the UK release (2 October) of her directorial debut, Girls Like Girls.
Here’s a sneak peek of what the popstar and director had to say on…
Her sexuality: “I’m very proud to be a lesbian. I’m not afraid of that word”
The power of visibility: “It would have altered my brain chemistry to be able to see a film with two leads that actually looked like me and represented me fully”
Becca Tilley: “She’s seen all the highs and lows of the journey and the challenges trying to get a film made”
You can read all this and more in our October/November issue.
