EXPLORG THE MYTH: DID JOHN LENNON HAVE A GAY AFFAIR?

A gay man? There, Evans would troduce me to the facts behd a Lennon myth that has persisted to this Lennon have a homosexual affair? The qutn was, and for many still is: Did John Lennon have a gay affair wh Brian Epste?

Instead, Tony Barrow, the Beatl’ reful and wise prs secretary, managed to sp the story so there was no mentn of any potential homosexual tryst. While is mon knowledge today that Brian Epste was a homosexual, is important to note that homosexualy was illegal the Uned Kgdom the mid-sixti.

He was a very private gay person. Homosexualy was illegal. He was stand-offish que a lot, which was John’s way of sayg, ‘I’m not gay, you n’t love me, but you n be my bt iend.

GAY HISTORY: JOHN LENNON ONCE ALMOST BEAT A MAN TO DEATH

Brian had a strong bond wh him, but he also knew that his homosexualy self uld shatter the Beatl.

And was my first experience wh someone I knew was a homosexual. Was John Lennon gay? Who r if he was gay?

Epste was unequivol his sexual preferenc- he was as gay as they e.

SIR PL MCCARTNEY SLAMS JOHN LENNON ‘GAY’ CLAIMS

But Liverpool, the “gay” mors were now tensely swirlg. At the party, Wooler was jokg around wh John and said (wh heavy gay timatns): “Come on John, what really happened wh you and Brian?

About the gay accatns settg him off, Lennon went on to add, “You know, when you’re 21, you want to be a man. Many famo pop managers – Larry Parn (Tommy Steele: the UK’s first Rock and roll star), Simon Napier-Bell (The Yarbirds, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Wham!, Gee Michael), K Lambert (The Who) – were que openly gay.

Many people who weren’t gay themselv were fascated by gay culture, and thoroughly enjoyed the mpns of all. Homosexualy was not partially crimalized (that hio word) the UK until 1967. When John went on holiday to Spa wh the Beatl’ manager Brian Epste, a closet homosexual, the mor l went to overdrive.

McCartney nied that there uld have been ‘anythg gay’ about Lennon. His posturg and performanc spired a generatn of gay, lbian and transgenr people.
