Graham Chapman: Coming Out Again



For someone so shy, Graham was always “coming out”: first about his homosexuality and then his alcoholism. He was essentially a generous man, and I think he wanted people to benefit from his experiences. He was generally silent but given to the odd flash of genius. He was an enigma, and I miss him. 

Lovely piece in The Times* by Terry Jones about his fellow Python Graham Chapman.
The fillum - A Liar's Autobiography - comes out Friday.

PS One thing that's rarely said - and he was too modest to mention it himself - is he was basically bankrolling Gay News back in the day.

* And again, if you're a member of a local library they'll most likely give you a code so you can get behind the Murdoch paywall.
