NO WAY! I cannot believe that your gossip monger slated Boy George! That is sacriledge.
No matter what headlines he appears in or how i might sometimes cringe at his behavioural antics -when i was growing up gay (in the very homophobic 80’s) -he was an awesome role model: not to femme queens etc, but to anyone trying to find their pride. Yeah, Madonna’s also cool -but has she ever played Pride (after a while gaypal Rupert Everett disssapeared from the scene when she went maternal!) manipulative material girl?!
Yeah, Boy George has been in trouble/ mad some awful choices (in dress and deed!) but he’s stood up for what he is/ believes in -and that’s a true role model -someone who doesn’t publicise their life for public consumption!
No matter what, I will always respect B.G for his history and effect he has had on my life.
C’mon -Madonna wishes she could write lyrics like the Boy or even have the vocal range!!
I’m climbing off my soapbox now, thanks for the indulgence

What are you on?. Personally, I think he’s an embarrassment. He may (arguably) once have been a positive role model, but of late he’s become a caricature of himself. All he does is bitch about other people, wear really bad outfits and he hasn’t creatively produced anything of note in a very long time. Word is he’s working on new material. Let’s see what he comes up with. By the way, vocally he’s certainly not anything to write home about… so you’re on shaky ground there.
