IS JOHN HURT GAY?
* is john hurt gay *
John Hurt is stg across the table performg l to me om The Naked Civil Servant.His voice – that brandy and gravel barone, the same one that 1987 boomed out on AIDS public rmatn adverts on TV warng people not to die om ignorance – reverberat around the rtrant.It is 2014, nearly 40 years sce he played the wrer and "stately homo" Quent Crisp a role that many advised him agast takg. To play an effete homosexual, as the dosrs of the English actg tablishment would have scribed Crisp at the time, was, he was told, to bid farewell to one’s reer.But ma his reer.
NOT NAKED BUT STILL SO CIVIL, JOHN HURT IS BACK AS GAY QUENT CRISP
Gay men would often approach him the street to tell him how transformative was for them to watch Crisp alive Technilor, full, brazen mve, sashayg down the street, all srv and rouge, wavg at sailors and givg bigots the middle fger.The fact that most gay men are not fabuloly mp was not the pot.
There was nothg for a gay boy at that time to reach out for, nothg to reflect back and affirm to you that you were OK – that is OK, that you will be OK.There was no ter, very few out celebri, and equal rights were so lghably pie--the-sky never occurred to anyone that one day we would be able to marry. I sat on that wobbly stall and watched Hurt as Crisp tell the prim, dim homophob of middle England to get fucked wh such glor pizazz that I knew somehow I uld live.
