In GBA 318 we get better acquainted with Dexter. He talks about combining goth and cabaret influences to create the drag queen Count Addiction, navigating sex, gender and sexuality, being an Amanda Palmer mega fan, how being the son of a funeral director influenced him, finding friends, creating communities and so much more.
