“Isn’t Brett Easton Ellis gay?”

If so, one of two of the old guard are woke. LOL.

Ellis is gay, but he definitely isn't woke. Quite the opposite, and he often gets himself in trouble. I wouldn't say he's conservative, but he's not a leftist.

I don't know if Self is completely woke, but he's leftist. He says he's no longer socialist, but he endorsed Jeremy Corbyn.

Self is a Republican - in the U.K. that means "off with their heads" for the royal family.
