Incidentally, I have also learned a bit about the importance of avoiding feminine embarrassment ('Daddy, ' wrote Sophia when she enrolled at the New School where I teach, 'people will ask "why is old Christopher Hitchens kissing that girl?"') and shall now cease and desist.

Christopher Hitchens
About This Quote

It was 26 years after the passing of her father, Christopher, when his daughter Sophia came out as a lesbian. In a recent op-ed for The New York Times, she explained that she has been "incidentally" a lesbian since her teens. She was raised by one mother and one father, she explained. She never met her biological father and has been living with a same-sex partner since 1993.

"I have no children," she wrote. "I do not want to marry or adopt. I do not think it is necessary."
