WINNIE'S SECRET LIFE Wston Churchill may have been gay and was almost charged wh homosexualy after ‘vortg’ wh soldiers, historian Charlie Higson sensatnally claimsPublished: 17:04, 30 Jun 2019Updated: 17:45, 2 Jul 2019BRITISH in Wston Churchill may have been gay, acrdg to extraordary claims by thor and TV ic Charlie Higson. Acrdg to Higson – one of the ma wrers and ic actors of BBC sketch show The Fast Show – the future wartime lear faced beg nvicted for homosexualy which was banned until 1967. Wil was a flamboyant Irish wrer who was nvicted 1895 for havg gay sex and was sentenced to two years’ hard labour at Readg Jail.

He said: “He married Clemmie but there is a possibily that he might have been homosexual. However there is ltle evince to support that Churchill was gay.

Throughout his life, Churchill showed ltle tert women other than his wife, enjoyed the pany of homosexuals, and was eply attached to male iends and his long-standg secretary Edward Marsh, although there is no evince of any physil relatnships.

WSTON CHURCHILL MAY HAVE BEEN GAY AND WAS ALMOST CHARGED WH HOMOSEXUALY AFTER ‘VORTG’ WH SOLDIERS, HISTORIAN CHARLIE HIGSON SENSATNALLY CLAIMS

The wrer W Somerset Mgham is said to have asked Churchill whether he ever had any homosexual experience, and been told:. In Febary 1954 Churchill's bet discsed the possible crimalisatn of homosexualy, followg an crease the number of nvictns for gay offenc. ↑ Tony Grew, "Archiv reveal Churchill’s Cabet discsed gays".

On the other hand, he had strong romantic feelgs which were generally foced on his own possible that the man who led his untry to victory World War II had a gay si? Although Thorpe was gallant wh ‘the ladi’, married twice, and fathered a son, he led a secret homosexual, like all policians of siar persuasn, he had to keep his gay life secret — for all homosexual activy was illegal until 1967, and ntued to attract tense social disapproval for long after that. A man's man: Durg his reer, Churchill was close to his Mister of Informatn Brendan Bracken (pictured together around 1941)I noticed that the skills which Thorpe veloped as a clanste homosexual (or ‘closet queen’, to e an exprsn which me durg the Sixti) were not dissiar to those which ma him such an effective polician; quick ws, actg abily, a talent for trigue and subterfuge, a pacy for takg lculated Thorpe’s se, there also seemed to be a psychologil lk between the thrill of ‘feastg wh panthers’ (as Osr Wil scribed the dangero allure of sual homosexual enunters) and the general excement of polics.

I wonred whether the same might be te of other homosexual or bisexual policians, of which I spected there might be more than generally supposed, bee the fact of their beg actors, risk-takers and triguers would tend to draw them towards the profsn. If their bgraphi are wrten, their fai ually ensure that the homosexual or bisexual aspect of their liv is barely, is fair to pose qutns about the sexualy of long-ad policians who n no longer answer back? In the not so distant past, to scribe anyone, let alone a public figure, as a homosexual was a slur, but now that most Wtern societi homosexualy is generally accepted, is surely time to try to unrstand the stra of ‘closet-queenery’ which ns through recent polil certaly impli no disrpect to the often brave and gifted men, and to the tribulatns and disappotments they endured.

It is, after all, said to be a very Brish a schoolboy, Churchill may have had some enunter wh the phenomenon at Harrow, which had one of the more homosexual reputatns among the major public then there was a cur episo at the outset of his reer. His ‘se’ was taken up by the journal, of libel, Tth did not refer directly to the homosexual allegatns, but Bce’s father mentned them Febary 1896 a letter to an officer who was buyg his son’s ary gear. While still his 20s, Wston Churchill acquired a reputatn, which he would never lose, as a misogynistLs than a year after the trial of Osr Wil, which had end wh his beg imprisoned for homosexual acts, this was the most ser imagable slur.

If he did ed have homosexual clatns, Bce’s allegatns would have given him a ser ight and termed him to keep such feelgs firmly unr ntrol.

Certaly there were elements Churchill’s make-up which might have aroed spicns of homosexualy.
