GLAD TO BE GAY

There’s a lot of lyric chang for glad to be gay 87. This is 1987, clse 28 was given assent 1988, so this was also the party that was enactg specifilly homophobic legislatn. ‘The women of Greenham they smeared and spised’ is broar polics rather than gay issu.
But the smearg was that they were gay, that they were a bunch of crazy fuckg dyk. This is 87, the height of homophobia over Aids the Sun, of ‘Pulp Poofs Can Stay’, of [lumnist] Richard Ltlejohn unleashed at his most rabid, and [edor] Kelv MacKenzie gone mad.
Constant homophobia headl the Sun.

It’s odd that they attacked Elton on a number of onts wh his homosexualy beg the basis of their hatred, and nversely they hated the Greenham women polilly so ma homosexualy the basis of their attacks. ‘And now there’s a ncer to blame on the gays. Cos savg gay liv don’t w any vot’.
It was difficult to squeeze the spe of what was gog on to a new verse a song like Glad To Be Gay. My generatn of gay men saw their iends die like fli around them. Well if gay liberatn means eedom for all.
Tom was outed by Sunday tabloid rag the People the mid-80s unr the headle ‘Bra’s Number One Gay In Love Wh Girl Biker’. How do one get to be Bra’s Number One Gay? What ught some people out was the rponse the gay prs.

Jt as Glad To Be Gay started out as a cynil shout out to the narrowns of certa gay people the mid 70s, so The Last Word did twenty years later.

That’s another aspect of the origal Glad To Be Gay lyric that has bee happily anachronistic. And then, I thk the same year, Blood Brother won those three awards at the Gay and Lbian Amerin Mic Awards New York. What had ed those attacks on you the gay prs?
Once Suxs and I had bee an em and were livg together I talked to the Pk Paper and I talked to Capal Gay, and terviews I said ‘by the way, I’m livg wh a woman at the moment, ’ and their reactn was, ‘so why are you tellg ? I had to buy , and si was the headle – ‘Bra’s Number One Gay In Love Wh Girl Biker – My passn for blon by rocker Robson’. I didn’t realise any of that, I only knew about the ‘Bra’s number one gay’ story.
