THE BEATL (AND CYNTHIA LENNON) DIDN’T KNOW THAT THEIR MANAGER, BRIAN EPSTE, WAS GAY
Brian Epste will be remembered for troducg The Beatl to a global dience, but their gay manager passed away 50 years ago durg the "Summer of Love" as homosexualy was first crimalised England and Wal. * the beatles gay *
Were The Beatl gay? Yet Brian himself died lonely, never havg had a proper boyiend, and wh the lloquially known “Osr Wil laws” clarg homosexualy illegal still force. The world would remember those days romantilly as the “Summer of Love”, om London to San Francis—and was ed a time of love, eedom, openns, and passn… as long as you weren’t gay, lbian, bisexual, or transgenr.
Bee what the public didn’t know was that Brian Epste was gay. In 1960s England, fet about beg allowed to marry—gay men and lbians weren’t allowed to openly walk the streets!
But I hold that is not The Beatl that Brian Epste should be most remembered for—’s the personal obstacl he overme as a gay man the 1960’s while pursug his dreams that mak his story not jt spirg but important. But had Brian Epste lived to celebrate Liverpool Pri fifty years after his untimely ath—and the simultaneo 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love and the Sexual Offenc Act’s crimalisatn of homosexualy England and Wal—he would have been pleased about a lot more than the endurg legacy of his Beatl.
