Yes, the Gay male lifestyle is a lot riskier than hetero.

But liberals and the media don’t want the truth known. They would rather be politically correct when it comes to the gay lifestyle.
Aids is a name given to someone HIV positive who develops more than one certain disease from the “official” list...so AIDS wouldn’t be listed as the direct cause...
I don’t know how I got in this. I just thought humblegunner’s blog-pimp self-reference was funny. Mr. Michael earned an, “Oh, how sad,” with extra sad because he was so young, for a guy dying.
Now THAT’S funny regardless of situation.
Depends on how you do it... if you know you are terminally ill, speeding things along... wouldn’t be first time.
Yeah, I couldn’t figure out either how YOU got into that.
My apologies to you if you got smacked with my snarkiness.
Usually, I’m perfect. Ha.
Well he had a beautiful voice and made many great songs. One of my favorites “You Have Been Loved” which I heard was a tribute to his gay lover that passed but it’s still hauntingly beautiful. Such talent and such a messed up life. I hope he’s at peace.
Great talent, RIP.
However.....even without the "gay" stuff; Last Christmas should be a capital offense.

LAST CHRISTMAS

Looks like AIDS related. Hopefully he repented before death do that he doesn’t go straight to Hell for being a homosexual.
If he was taking steroids to deal with the disease, that could also have explained his appearance.
I am sad about this. I really liked his songs, even his Christmas one. I know he had substance issues and stranger sex issues.... But his music meant a lot to me, especially Careless Whisper.
I’m sorry he left so young. RIP. Since I heard, early in the evening, I hit up Spotify and played his stuff. Apparently, rich and famous is no way to live a long life.
“Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)” - No. 1, Billboard, 10/06/84
“Careless Whispers” - #1, 12/22/84
“Everything She Wants” #1, 4/06/85
“Freedom” #3, 8/03/85
“I knew You Were Waiting for Me” with Aretha Franlin, #1, 3/07/87.
All recorded as “WHAM”!
George Michael as solo:
No “Club Tropicana” listed for either category.
No. 1 hits by Michael as solo”
First song, #2, “I want your sex”
These are all No. 1’s.
“Faith”
“Father Figure”
“One More Try”
“Monkey”
“Praying For Time”
“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” with Elton John (12/14/91
A talent and person who will be missed by true pop music lovers.
I like Last Christmas. Played it in his honor today. That other Christmas song I hate though. Is it Do They Know It’s Christmas? That one sucks. And no, since they aren’t Christian, they don’t know or care that it’s Christmas.
A lot of Greek Orthodox are very religious. If he had a long illness maybe he did return to his roots.
We remember several times in his life he was arrested for trying to have butt sex in mens bathrooms.
