In my Senior year at Iowa, '69-'70, I had the privilege of living at the funeral place in return for running ambulance calls and helping with funeral services. George was like a father to me during this time, always friendly and kind, willing to assist with anything. I always admired the sincere sympathy that he extended to each family of the deceased in their day of grief. I cherish those memories of George and offer my condolences to Anita and Ted. Rest in Peace, my friend, you were a good man.

The Sky TV series Mary & George tells the story of the Countess of Buckingham, Mary Villiers (Julianne Moore), who moulded her son George (Nicholas Galitzine) to seduce King James I. She believed that, as the king’s lover, her son could become wealthy and wield influence and influence.
No one identified as a “homosexual” in King James’s time (1566-1625). The word was only coined in the Victorian period and sexuality was not used to construct identities as it is today.
There was also a more fluid concept of gender. Male and female bodies were seen as fundamentally the same, with sexual differences determined by the way bodily humours (fluids) flowed through them.
A man who desired sex with other men was seen as having an imbalance in his humours – and was blamed for failing to manage it.
Sexual acts between men were forbidden by the church, citing passages from the the Bible. Corinthians 6:9 classed the “effeminate” and “abusers of themselves with mankind” among the “unrighteous” who would not inherit the kingdom of God.
The puritan theologian William Perkins, writing in 1591, itemised “strange pleasures about generation, prohibited in the word of God”. This included s
Boy George reveals graphic way his parents discovered he was gay
Pop icon Boy George gave his poor parents the shock of their lives when they found out he was homosexual thanks to his graphic level decorations.
The Culture Club singer has been a legend in the LGBTQ+ community for many years, cemented by his androgynous outfits, oft-quoted ‘cup of tea’ analogy, and Madonnabeef.
While the 62-year-old had known he was gay from the age of six, it was scarcely discussed at house other than his dad telling his brothers he was ‘funny’.
Before the height of his fame, George left his turbulent residence life and upped sticks to a squat in London, where he had decorated one wall with numerous X-rated pictures of men.
George, born George O’Dowd, revealed in his new book Karma: My Autobiography that his parents came to visit him unexpectedly in the city.
He had not been home when they arrived and came back to detect a note left by his builder dad Jerry and mum Dinah which read: ‘Nice wallpaper. Love you, son.’
The moment ended up being an emotional gesture in their relationship but the LGBTQ+ community was still seen as taboo.
In the memoir, he wrote: ‘This was the 1970s and the
