Two heads are better than one, 1965.
There’s a topic simmering in a few comment threads at once, and so I thought I’d surface the topic as a post. Basically, it’s the old question of John’s attraction to Paul, and whether it was sexual in nature; and furthermore, whether the friendship of these two men — undeniably close in every other way between 1957-68 — ever became sexual in nature as well.
(This just in, courtesy of commenter @Karen: according to a new interview with Yoko Ono, John “had a desire to hold sex with men.” If this is true, and why not, and John loved Paul, and why not… why not?)
This may strike some of our readers as giving a outrageous topic more grave attention than it deserves, and to some degree I agree with them. Male gender roles are pathetically restrictive; any end friendsh
Paul McCartney on John Lennon’s Sexuality [Quotes]
[wordcount: 1.3 k]
I don't think [the lgbtq+ claims] are real. John never ever tried anything, I slept with him a million times. I've seen him on tour roaring drunk, out of his mind in the early days before he sobered up and went to rehab. Roaring drunk and it was always with a female, never once [with a man]. If you've got a brief gay tendency and you’re roaring drunk I'd have caught him once.
— Paul McCartney (from The Sun)
That was the intimacy we had. We would always be walking in on each other and things. I’d walked in on John and seen a little bottom bobbing up and down with a girl underneath him. It was perfectly normal: you’d proceed , ‘Oh shit, sorry,’ and back out the room...
That’s why I’ve always start very strange the theory that John was gay. Because over fifteen years of sharing rooms, sharing our lives, not one of us has an incident to relate of catching John with a male child. I would hold thought that caring of thing would be more prevalent, and John’s inhibitions were certainly free when he was drunk.

So there was the homosexual thing - I’m not sure John did anything but we certainly gavIn August 1967, Beatles manager Brian Epstein passed away at the age of 32. He spent his entire adult life introducing The Beatles to a global audience and helping them spread their message of love around the world. Yet Brian himself died lonely, never having had a proper boyfriend, and with the colloquially known “Oscar Wilde laws” declaring homosexuality illegal still in force. The world would remember those days romantically as the “Summer of Love”, from London to San Francisco—and it was indeed a time of love, freedom, openness, and passion… as long as you weren’t gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans. If you were, you’d enhanced spend your summer indoors, in the closet.
Earlier in the decade, Brian made two bold and visionary statements about the future. He’s famous for the first one: “The Beatles are going to be bigger than Elvis!”. At the time, the Fab Four were a middle-of-the-road Liverpool band rejected by every tape company in the business. Epstein’s second visionary statement has been largely overlooked—but it was in fact bolder, more inspiring, and not only dangerous but borderline seditious. During a 1960’s media appearance, after dashing lovestruck fans’ hopes b

So what if he was gay, I have known that for a while, and it maybe looks like the suicide was not a suicide after all. And him and Lennon existence lovers.. well that makes Lennon multi-attracted , doesn't it ? Well I could be so cheeky and write, "well I knew something was queer about Lennon " and then leave and everything would falling and being thrown in my command. But I undertake not do such things, cause I really like The Beatles.
Oh in other news Did any one know that Alan Turing was gay ? And committed suicide after he had been found guilty in having sex with another man, and Turing got medically castrated after the trial, and that is the reason why Turing ate an apple with cyanide with it ?
