Thought For The Day: Boy George

“[Antony Hegarty] said, ‘Do you realise what you did for little gay children like me all over the world?’ That’s a big responsibility, which I wasn’t really conscious of back in the day. I wasn’t on some political mission, I was just being myself, having a hoot, putting another wig on. Whereas, now, I do feel like I have a responsibility. I feel like in certain moments I’ve been a terrible example of how to be a gay man in public, and I feel like — you know what? — I’ve got a chance to redress that now. Culture Club was a magical thing for a lot of people in the early 1980s. We changed the sexual landscape in a very subtle way and I really thought, ‘Oh, wow, people are just going to be really cool from now on,’ but now they’re not.”
