GEORGE MICHAEL





I took my partner to see a George Michael documentary: George Michael a different story. It consisted of lots of clips of George in concert, recording and in interviews.

I've never really listened to his stuff and knew very little about him except for the entrapment in a US toilet.

I now like George Michael's voice and will have to get some of his cds.

I came away really liking the bloke. He sounded a very honest, down to earth kind of guy. He had had to come to terms with being gay even though he had originally thought he was straight. He talked about his loving relationships and how he couldn't cope with his attempt to become a mega-star as a big as Michael Jackson and how it nearly nearly broke him.

O.K. It helps to be relaxed and enjoy life if you a multi-millionaire. But he did not sound at all as if he had an over-bloated image of himself.

He admitted that he had not known how to let his public know he was gay and everyone congratulated him on how he dealt with the press when he was caught with his trousers down by a cop. I liked the part when George said that he felt there was something wrong, that there might be a trap just before he entered the men's toilets. He was being interviewed in a limousine and he bent forward, looked straight into the camera and said " But I went there anyway didn't I ?"

Maybe there's a lesson there. If you are in a position like me, where only my partner knows I'm a cross-dresser and you are wondering how you could let everyone know, perhaps you might be unfrocked ( no pun intended)very publicly, in a humiliating way . But at least then its done and you just have cope with it. Would it be any worse than dealing with all the deceit and guilt and staying in the closet
( had to work hard to get that pun in but it was worth it . Oh yes it was!)
