Thought For The Day: Boy George

“If it had been a gay rapper that had done Same Love I think it probably wouldn’t have had the same impact. It’s a weird thing about our culture. I think Same Love is a great record, I don’t care if he’s straight or gay, it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter, but unfortunately it does.

“If you’re gay doing that song people think you’re preaching. No, it’s my life. It’s the same as a guy speaking about his girlfriend. For some reason when you’re gay people think you only talk about being gay. I don’t, actually. My sexuality takes up about three hours a month. At a push. And I’m sure that’s the same for a lot of straight people. If you look at how much you actually get down to business it’s really not as much of a priority as people think it is.”

“Born This Way? You’re a straight woman. But whatever. You’ve got to like her for liking us. That’s nothing to condemn someone for. She’s pro-gay, she loves her gay brothers and sisters and I’m sure she employs a lot of queens, with all the stylists and hairdressers. I find her hilarious, I love her antics, arriving in an egg or on a horse. She puts a lot of hard work into her razzle dazzle.”
