"If I were a straight man, my female partner would have a role in the eyes of society. She would be the mother of my children, my hostess, the person on my arm at red carpet events. She would have a defined function. But that's not the case if your partner is male. Every man – no matter how young or fey – has something of the alpha in him." He added that his ex-boyfriends have previously ended up "loathing" attending events with him because they hadn't "earned it for themselves".

Graham's comments on being single 

Graham has previously said that he doesn't mind being single, telling in 2021: "There’s a weird thing that happens in your life that the older you get the less right you have to be picky, but the pickier you become. And your dating pool becomes smaller and smaller — but that’s because you want it to be.

"When you’re young it’s the opposite — you know you could be picky, but you’re not. So I think that’s what probably changed things. And, you know, I prefer to be unhappy alone. That’s the bottom line. And I’m not even unhappy." 

Graham has recently said that he is happy single

He previously responded to comment after he was spotted on the dating app Tinder, telling Closer magazine: "That's weird that it creates headlines. Why have they published this story? Are they trying to embarrass me? I'm a single person, why wouldn't I go on Tinder?"

He has since said that he deleted the app, explaining: "I was on Tinder a couple of years ago, but I'm not on it now. I felt like I'd done it. There's a law of diminishing returns on Tinder, I met a few people and thought, ‘God, there are a lot of broken people in the world and I don't really need to meet them.' I don't need to be part of their damage."
