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.

Many people who weren’t gay themselv were fascated by gay culture, and thoroughly enjoyed the mpns of all.
