When was the last time you heard 'openly black', 'openly female', or 'openly catholic'? Gay is the identity we chose in our communitiies, our workplaces and our families. You can be homosexual in secret, but not gay. Gay is always out in the open. “Openly gay” is a poisonous and outdated phrase – to be gay is to be open.

He's is a freak and I'm embarrassed that he's gay! He gives gay people a bad name! We have enough to contend with,without adding this to out problems! Okay,the “boy” deserves everything he gets.

Bruises from HIV?? An assumption by an attorney who is obviously an idiot!! Surely there was a struggle, and let's not rule out how climbing out a window in handcuffs surely produces bruising. I can attest to the fact that, having been HIV+ myself for 20 years, that I don't bruise any more easily than the next guy. I think it's a sad attempt at taking the attention away from Mr. O'Dowd's stupidity, and an insult to HIV+ people everywhere. I didn't read anything that said the hustler ADMITTED to being positive. Sheesh! Are you kidding me? Bruises from HIV?? An assumption by an attorney who is obviously an idiot!!

Today's newborns will have no knowledge about Boy George and he won't matter to them for quite a while, unless an effort is made to introduce him to the new wave of young folk. By the time they are 18 Boy George will likely be dead of a drug overdose or his health might be in very serious decline. By then he will have been long since replaced by a new up and coming "pop culture idol". He is like the rest of us just a mere blip on the screen of life of the human race, here today and gone tomorrow and replaceable. After reading about him, I am not impressed. He is another performer for whom riches and fame failed to bring happiness. His drug use and brushes with the law are not a sign of a happy man. Boy George will come and Boy George will go.

Men have been doing this to women for years, it's called marriage. Didn't anyone read B George's bio? You don't F with the lead singer of culture club. Funny how female hustlers are mutilated every day... but this one is male so his situation is fostered in the court system. It's so sweet.
