As far as Boy George�s bitching is concerned, George has always turned the other cheek. Someone always has to spoil all the fun, leaving the party early� Anyways, this is the time when he lost his cool and here is the result.
Really, compare that to everything Boy George had to say � lol�
Of course, they both have good points to prove� But one thing seems very obviously right � and if anyone can explain this to me please do � why does Boy George writes for tabloid press??? No matter how much I enjoy reading his column every week (and I do!), it is definitely not the paper he should be giving his writing talents to� Better save up for another book, George! :D

(The Advocate, January 19, 1999)
"For instance, there are some people for whom it would be ridiculous to pretend that they are not gay. The way they grew up, their mannerisms � I genuinely believe that for some people, they never had a choice but to deal with it from very early age. And it�s easy to understand why those people don�t understand the people who aren�t that cut-and-dry. I think very often that people who are plainly gay don�t understand when people who are not as plainly gay have other issues to contend with.

Maybe that�s why Boy George � more �plainly gay� � needles you for years about being closeted?
Exactly. And what were his choices? He makes it absolutely clear that he could never be anything else other than what he is. Boy George � since Wham! � has been trying to out me. He knew I had boyfriends. I refused to rise to the bait with him. I�ve always turned the other cheek. At the end of the day, his motives are so transparent. He�s never said anything that really bothered me until his Advocate article this year. He�s always said horrible things, but in that article he said that I thought I was too good for the gay community. I felt like that was really over the top. He did an article directly after I was arrested � interestingly enough, he writes a column for one of the tabloids, which is exactly where I think he belongs. It�s an English tabloid called Daily Mail. It�s also pretty right-wing and homophobic. I think it�s quite interesting that he writes for them, so I guess he�ll go for anyone who pays him. For a gay man, his attitude toward me is identical to the paparazzi�s. The first article he write was all about how concerned he was for me and that we were sisters under the skin and all this stuff. But he was just gloating and pretending not to gloat. And then I think he realised that people didn�t care. So at that point he did that interview with Advocate. And when he said that stuff about how I thought I was too good for the community, I just thought, You are now clutching at straws! You are thinking that I�ve been humiliated and people are still not turning against me, so what can you say now to get me in trouble? Because to say that I am some kind of snob when it comes to the gay community, trying to turn people against me by making out like I had some sort of prejudice against gay people � I�m sorry. Am I too good for the gay community? No. Am I too good for the likes of Boy George? Yes."
