What's Next? Declare George Michael's Birthday a National Holiday?

Yes, it's been a SLOW news day, so the headlines have gone ON AND ON about the death of a forgettable POP STAR.

I glance at my search engine feed of the latest NEWS, and a dopey editorial on George Michael is in there? Why the fuck is ANY entertainment article considered NEWS??

Oh, THANKS for explaining this. Because he was a cocksucker, and admitted it (after being outed) that makes him a HERO.

Well what the FUCK was he supposed to do, deny it? Go hide somewhere?

IF I'M RECALLING CORRECTLY, Wilfrid Brambell was arrested for being queer in a men's room. He resumed his career. People now knew he was a lonely old perv. He's forgotten today, except for some fans of "Steptoe" and "Hard Day's Night" which was a film by grandpa's favorite group The Beatles (whoever they are). Brambell is known for being a humorous character actor, not for being Mr. Here and Queer. Will revisionist history paint him as a hero for resuming his career?

THIS idiotic article declares that "Even though Michael was forced out of the closet, once he was out, he took a great leap forward and came out guns blazing."

GUNS BLAZING? He was an annoying, trendy, stubble-wearing pretty-boy cocksucker, that's all. Blazing? He was a flaming fruit, if that's what you mean. By the time HE was on the scene, we'd already experienced David Bowie and Liberace and Jagger wearing lipstick and eye shadow, and Elton John's hijinks, etc. etc. There were plenty of GAYS out and about. It wasn't like this guy actually "came out guns blazing."

There were many courageous people NOT making millions of dollars and pandering to glitzy glamour-morons, who had COME OUT before HIM. THEY are the ones who deserve the acclaim, not this irritating, smirking trendy testicle tickler. Did anyone NOT know Freddie Mercury was gay? Whether people said it openly or not it was no big deal anymore.

He was arrested in 1998! By that time, a gay friend of mine had been DEAD OF AIDS FOR TEN FUCKING YEARS.

My friend was part of that promiscuous bunch who did the disco scene, and the baths, and the bathrooms and the rest of it. By the time George Michael came along, the dangers of this idiocy were well known, and gay sex, Stonewall, and Larry Kramer and John Waters and on and on. Kramer's book "Faggots" came out in 1978. That's 20 years before the great George Michael came out. TEN years before George Michael, Elton John was giving interviews about being gay.

Rock Hudson died FIVE years before George Michael came out. Wasn't Hudson a hero? Everybody knew what he died of. Plenty of celebrities were "OUT" before George Michael.

It's just that the average person and the average media whore writing for stupid websites, has a short memory, no research skills, and no sense of history.

What George Michael DID, was declare that he was a promiscuous cocksucker, and that this was wonderful fun. We should applaud that he encouraged thousands of homos to end up with AIDS because they followed their HERO in having unprotected sex with strangers? AIDS was still very much a virulent and killing virus, and the drugs available to at least slow down HIV were still not dependable or free of terrible side effects.

This idiot article notes:

"He was blessed with sensual good looks and an exquisite voice, attributes he used to become first a teenybopper heartthrob and then a mature solo artist with videos that played up his considerable appeal."

No, No, and NO. His "good lucks" were obviously and simperingly GAY. His voice was ordinary. He was NEVER a "mature solo artist," he was always an amateur, preening fop. This is the same revisionist shit we see about Madonna, on the other side of the groin.

NOW, she's Miss Liberation, the outrageous wonder woman with the "good looks" and exquisite "voice," who became a fabulous "solo artist." Except she pandered to sluttery, and influenced, just as George Michael did, thousands of idiots to ape what she was doing, and to regret it. How many illegitimate kids, and how many social diseases did the followers of Madonna end up with? George's followers didn't have illegitimate kids, but AIDS. That's better?

Let's be REAL.

Lastly, as there's no point quoting more of this or the other inane stories that make this guy into a hero, one last line:

"He kept his own sexual orientation private, until he was arrested in 1998 for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles after being spotted by a male undercover police officer."

In other words, he was just as cowardly or cautious as anyone engaging in peculiar sex acts. Whether you're gay, or into spanking or three-ways or bondage, you're going to raise eyebrows if you admit this is how you get your cock to raise. So why not just shut the fuck up about it? He was arrested and he turned this into gay pride. So what? If you're a minority group member, and somebody picks on you, you stand up and say, "Yes, I'm Black" or Jewish, or Muslim, or whatever. You bite back, because that's human nature. It's not heroism, it's self-preservation. Also, you can't really change what you are, can you?

Fortunately, as we learned from Prince and Bowie, attention spans are short, and all the pandering and pandemonium will end in another day or two, or after the fucking ball drops in Times Square in a few days. Then we can remember that there's still ISIS and TRUMP, and the music a pretty boy disco diva made years ago doesn't matter in this current world.

In the end (which is where Georgy-Girl liked it), the fact remains, this pretty boy from the 80's became a bore in the 21st Century, nearly died of pneumonia (hmmm, promiscuous disease causing that?) and died of a heart attack because, well, they'll think of a reason and spin it one way or the other.

Deciding to bullshit this guy's death for a week long gay pride parade is pathetic pandering. People aren't content to just say he was a big star in the 80's? He was that. And nothing more. And no amount of James Corden mewling or media spinning is going to make anyone listen to that shit and like it. It was of its time, and it's time, like George himself, is OVER.
