I don't think this song is aobut Marc Bolan. It seems pretty autobiographical - Lady Stardust <i>is</i> Ziggy/Bowie. It refers to his dressing in drag/semi-drag.
<i>Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name</i> and <i>I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey</i> is refering to him not being able to reveal that Lady Stardust is him and the character he developed.

@Chinup I couldn't agree more. Bowie said it's about Marc, but that may be indirection. I think it's clearly about Bowie.
