Boy George suffered homophobic abuse in prison, and cried.

[QUOTE]Boy George has told of the anti-gay abuse he suffered from fellow prisoners.
The singer, who was jailed for four months in 2009 for falsely imprisoning a male escort, told National Prison Radio about his experiences.
He said: “When you first arrive, it’s terrifying, I don’t care how hard you are. But eventually you just go, ‘You know what? I’m here!’ Acceptance is a huge thing.”
He added: “[The bullying] was mainly young guys shouting out ‘batty boy’ and things like that. It was nothing I hadn’t heard before and I dealt with it in the way I would on the street:
“Telling me I’m gay is not news to me. Why are you telling me I’m gay? Yeah, I know, I’m 50.”
George has previously said that his sense of humour helped him through his punishment.
“I’m not the sort of person who can maintain a dark perspective on life for very long,” he told Metro last year. “Having had a good sense of humour is very useful in certain situations. Being insanely optimistic has its advantages.”[/QUOTE]

He probably fell asleep right after and woke up late for something, so he had to go.

When I read the title, I had to post it
He's insanely optimistic.
okay, what the fuck
:gonk:
Where the fuck does it say he "cried"?
In fact it seems like he was barely bothered at all
"I went into prison and some bad men called me names."
I mean come on, its a prison, the kind of person in there is hardly going to embrace homosexuality.

If you read the article he didn't actually seem all that bothered, and it never says he cried anywhere. I guess he didn't think it was that bad.
hurrhurrr batty boyyyyy hurrrrrrr

These words meant the most to him. after the three week male hooker strike.
Why does it matter if he cried or not? Oh right I forgot guys are supposed to be manly and not show weak emotions and a load of other stuff.

Because don't you think it's a bit of a [b]sensationalist headline[/b]? or is that just like standard procedure
Why would anyone do such a thing?

Oh.
So a guy got called names and didn't give a shit?
What an interesting piece of news, especially with everything else going on at the moment.
Why did you put "and cried" at the end of the thread title? surely if you get abuse for anything in prison you're going to cry...

Unless tim geithner announces that he is gay, I don't think these people give a shit.

I thought the reason everyone hates Fox news is because they're "Sensationalists".
But you know what they say about abysses and looking at them.

It wasn't pinknews that made this headline, it was CoolHandLuke. Pinknews's headline was just [b]Boy George ‘suffered homophobic abuse in prison’[/b]. I don't know where Luke got it from that George "cried".
Mods should start banning for false headlines, how about "misleading title" bans?

Agreed, too many thread makers in this subforum make shitty sensationalist headlines that end up either not being true or end up being a failure at being funny.
