George Michael: G Is For...

GEORGE Michael’s ex-lover has told how he fears a sex drug he used to deliver to the star may have led to his death aged 53.

Paul Stag, 48, says the singer was hooked on Liquid G during their nine years together.

He said: “George was mad on G. He loved it. It is 100 per cent he would have had chems on
Christmas Eve before his death.”

The pair used the codeword “champagne” when the ex-Wham! singer wanted to place orders.But Paul said: “George just couldn’t handle his own drugs.

“He was incredibly sexually active and in his mind drugs equalled sex and sex equalled drugs. My belief is he didn’t separate that until the day he died.”

Paul’s revelations come days after
George’s cousin Andros Georgiou claimed the star died of an accidental overdose and blasted the singer’s partner Fadi Fawaz for suggesting it was suicide.

Police are
awaiting toxicology tests after George was found dead aged 53 at home in Goring, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day...

The Sun On Sunday (Not sure why Stag went to the SOS, the heir to the News Of The World, the paper George despised more than any other. Oh, yeah, that...). 

Have to say this was my initial suspicion.

GHB is of course very gay - viz the Stephen Port 'murders' etc - and moreover very George, the lovely old perv.

Though the media's shoehorning of the buzzword/scareword 'chemsex' into this is as crass as it is clueless.

The spell in a Swiss clinic suggest he was into hard drugs - there have been rumours that he was addicted to crack or heroin.

A few brief points on the cast list here; I'm not convinced Paul Stag was his secret lover (drug runner and "escort", sure), George and his cousin Andros hadn't spoken for years, so it's hard to see what insight he has here, and Fadi claiming he slept in the car outside George's many bedroomed house on a freezing cold Christmas Eve sounds, erm, unlikely to say the least (libellous).

Whatever, I'm sure this story made several tabloid hacks Christmas.

NB Despite the predictable scaremongering of hysterical gay nuns like Patrick Strudwick, the number of G-related (ie GHB was known to have been taken, it may not have been the cause of death) is realtively tiny; 61 between 2011 and 2015.

Matt Irwin: GHB GBH

A PHOTOGRAPHER whose showbiz pals included Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue and members of One Direction killed himself with a lethal dose of a party drug known as liquid ecstasy after splitting from his boyfriend, an inquest heard.

Matt Irwin, 36, said he could no longer “look himself in the mirror” in a suicide note on his laptop before taking a lethal dose of GHB...

The Gay GHB Killer: Alleged

Helpful suggested headline from the Press Association.
Guardian court sketch.

 A man has appeared in court charged with poisoning and murdering four young men.

Stephen Port, 40, is accused of killing the men, who he allegedly contacted online via gay websites, between June 2014 and September this year.

Prosecutors told Barkingside magistrates he gave the men large amounts of the drug GHB.

Mr Port, of Cooke Street, Barking, east London, was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday...


BBC News. 

As I mused earlier, surely it can't be long before some hack calls him THE CHEMSEX KILLER! 

And if they can work Grindr in there it's manufactured modern media moral panic gay GOLD!

Update: Mail Online goes into overdrive with longest headline known to man...


Update2: At last, on The Sun online it's Grindr time!

Now the race is on to the first 'How safe are you on Grindr??' article...

Poison: His Likes Include...

A 40-year-old special needs teacher will appear in court today accused of murdering four young men over 15 months.

Stephen John Port, from Barking, east London, is accused of poisoning his victims, all in their early twenties, between June last year and September this year.

Three of the bodies were found either close to the churchyard of St Margaret's Church in the town or the nearby Abbey Ruins.

Another alleged victim was found on the same street Port lived in, Cooke Street, in Barking.

Scotland Yard said this morning Port has been charged with four counts of murder.

He has also been charged with four counts of administering a poison with intent to endanger life or inflict grievous bodily harm. Port is due to appear in custody at Barkingside Magistrates' Court today.

Port describes himself on Facebook as a special needs teacher at Westminster Kingsway College in King's Cross. It says he attended the University of Oxford between 2000 and 2003...


Daily Mail.


Betcha didn't see this coming...

His likes include a number of gay websites and lesbian, gay, transsexual and bisexual support groups.

Wait there's more!
 

The second and third alleged victims Gabriel Kovari, 22, and Daniel Whitworth, 21, were found at the same Barking church within one month of each other.

An inquest earlier this year heard both men had taken GHB and methadone.

Mr Whitworth had 'blamed himself for Mr Kovari's death' after they took the drug GHB at an orgy, Walthamstow Coroner's Court heard in June.

A dog walker found Slovakian-born Mr Kovari on August 28 last year while Mr Whitworth, from Kent, was found on September 20.

The coroner was told that Mr Whitworth was found dead holding a note in his left hand, which said: 'I can't go on anymore, I took the life of my friend Gabriel.

'We were just having some fun at a mate's place and I got carried away and gave him another shot of G[HB]. It was an accident, I know I will go to prison if I go to the police.'

The note said the men had sex at the party and added: 'I have taken what G[HB] I had left, with sleeping pills – if it does kill me it's what I deserve. This way I can at least be with Gabriel again.'


Needless to say...

Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

How long til the tabloids inevitable speculative 'The Gay GHB Killer?' headlines?

Though 'Chemsex Killer' is catchier and far more modish.

Homosexuals: Death

HACKERS have risked the lives of homosexuals living in countries where it is illegal to be gay — by potentially outing them online.

Secret affair site Ashley Madison is believed to have been used by gay people living in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality still carries the death penalty.

And since cyber criminals uploaded the details of 37million members on Tuesday evening, gay account holders face brutal punishments if outed.

There are 50 members of the site, predominately used by adulterers but also thought to have been used by gay singles hoping to avoid detection, registered in Qatar...


The Sun.

An hysterical gay, pictured recently.
'Homosexuals' are not sentenced to death just for being gay in any country in the world - and even arrests are so rare that they make the western news - but thanks for being hysterical.

PS Your chances of overdosing on GHB - or whatever we're supposed to be scared about this year - are insignificant.

Chemsex: Ask A Silly Question


Yes, it has.
Mainly by David Stuart, who has a vested interest in talking this up as a 'problem'.
See also his narco-hysteria about gay men and crystal meth, GHB etc etc...
Thanks for asking.

This comes after the Pink News interview above. Guess the sources!

PS If you want to be taken seriously, David - and not be seen as just a rampant and vain self-publicist - why do you send out some photo of yourself giving us all a teasing Grindr-esque glimpse of your manly muscled tits?

Just a thought.

Update: The Guardian have run a shockingly bad story on this nonsense. Fagburn asked this journalist, Denis Campbell, if he had evidence to back this - sadly after filing this story, and claiming to be a Health Correspondent - he has now disappeared.

Drugs: Stop The Madness!

A group of community leaders met in South London's gay clubbing district, South Vauxhall, last night to discuss why the drug GHB gets so much coverage in the gay media, Fagburn can reveal.
Even though someone was about twenty times as likely to die walking on their way to attend this talk, they demanded action on this KILLER DRUG.
John Stupid drew the audiences' attention to one of an endless series of articles about GHB in the gay media, and asked why the gay media was covering this up.
Gay Sauna Deaths: How Many More Will Die? screamed one headline.
Though the answer has proved to be "NOT MANY".
Articles about this "drug epidemic" are usually written by gay men who know bum all about drugs or the club scene.
Asked why the mainstream media is also so complicit in covering this up, no-one pointed out they always do cover gay drug use effusively - in a similarly hysterical fashion.
"We just sound like a gay version of the Daily Mail when we repeat this hysterical nonsense, don't we?"
A spokesbot from Antidote said; "If we pretend this is a bigger problem than it is, can we have even more funding, please?"
Time to stop the madness!

Drugs: Just Say "Dunno"

'Moves to criminalise the new wave of synthetic drugs, known as legal highs, appear to have backfired after it emerged that mephedrone is now more popular among clubbers than when it was not banned.
Confirmation comes in a survey of London club-goers carried out by researchers at Lancaster University and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS foundation trust. Published on Monday in the Journal of Substance Use, it assesses the impact of the classification of mephedrone as a class B drug.
'The survey builds on earlier work, conducted one evening in July 2010, three months after the drug was made illegal, which found the popularity of mephedrone had surpassed that of all other drugs, with 27% of people questioned in two gay-friendly south London dance clubs reporting that they had or were going to take it that night.
'The results of the follow-up study, conducted at the same two clubs in July 2011, found mephedrone had become even more popular. On the night the study was conducted, 41% of club-goers said they had taken or intended to take mephedrone that night.
'Gay club-goers are seen as "early adopters" of psychoactive drugs so the researchers claim the findings are likely to have implications for the wider population in the future..."

The Observer
Whilst I'd agree with the main thrust of this that drugs prohibition is pointless, this is pretty daft.
As the survey was conducted at two pretty hardcore gay clubs in Vauxhall thinking it could tell you anything about drug use among clubgoers in general is somewhat fanciful, to say the least.
Gay men often take different drugs to straights and in markedly differently ways.
Have poppers caught on with straight people?
How many gay men at the clubs were on GHB - has that caught on yet?
I could go on...

Update: Here's a summary of the survey's other findings - GHB was the second most popular drug amongst the bumders of Vauxhall that night.
