“John Lennon was a LBGT knucklehead?”

Perhaps (there is much speculation), but he was a serious leftist freak globalist.

Included below is a link to an article in which the title says “I interviewed John Lennon, and he was no ultra-left radical” but then if one reads past the first few paragraphs:

Lennon much regretted his earlier association with the radical left, as the contents of the chapter entitled “We’d all love to see the plan” (quoting from the song Revolution) make clear.

Writing in 1978, he stated: “The biggest mistake Yoko and I made in that period was allowing ourselves to become influenced by the male-macho ‘serious revolutionaries’, and their insane ideas about killing people to save them from capitalism and/or ­communism (depending on your point of view). We should have stuck to our own way of working for peace: bed-ins, billboards, etc.”

I also go by his words:

Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

Since the early 60's there's been rumors that Lennon had a few close encounters of the pervy kind with the Beatles first mgr Brian Epstein who was a known poof.
