http://www.universityobserver.ie/2010/03/02/queen-of-the-scene/In the past twenty years, Dublin's gay scene has gone from strength to strength – and now there's a new queen on the block. Michelle McCormick talks blogs, bars and boys with everyone's favourite landlady, Panti
"When I was your age, there were no gay people in public life. There were rumours that Boy George might be gay. The only gays you ever saw were on TV, getting beaten up by police."
There's no denying that Panti – sweetheart of the gay scene and hostess with the mostess – has a wicked sense of humour. But there's more to this drag queen than caustic wit and devastating good looks.
