Joanna Lumley Outs Ab-Fab's "Patsy" As Transgender

Did Joanna Lumley just "out" her Ab-Fab character "Patsy" as transgender?

Speaking to V Magazine:

“You go back and pick through it, the amount of gay references and ease with which it’s been put into the story, without it being dragged along like a great log of plot. It’s really normal that one of [Edina’s] ex-husbands now lives with his young boyfriend. It’s completely normal that [Edina] wants Saffy [Edina’s long-suffering daughter] to be a lesbian or that Serge [Edina’s long lost son] is gay and living in New York. It’s completely normal that Patsy is transgender.”

If you're a fan of the series - and who isn't? - the interview is really worth the read.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie hits theaters July 22nd.

Tease: "Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie"

Sweetie darling! Even though we're five months out from the premiere of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, this morning brings the first teaser for the highly anticipated flick.

The short video gives us Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders cavorting about the beach, sipping on refreshing cocktails with beautiful men, and zooming across the ocean in a yacht.

"Straight up, on the rocks, and always with a twist,” says a male narrator.

“When you must have the best, be sure to choose something cool, something refreshing, something Absolutely Fabulous.”

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is set to hit theaters on July 1.
