      For those who feel that George did not love Kenny, go through his music and look at videos where George made a few statements saying the he wrote a few ABOUT his feelings for Kenny. I get so tired at all of the hoopla over Anselmo being the ONLY man George really loved! His music proved that Kenny Goss held a special place in his heart. Not Fadi, but DEFINITELY Kenny. I think honestly that by Anselmo being his first homosexual lover, that put a deep place of compassion in George's heart for Anselmo. Also, it has been stated that Anselmo possibly was more experienced in REAL homosexual relationships than George. For all we know, George's heart may have been in love with the newness of feeling free SEXUALLY with Anselmo. I have met MANY women who fell madly in love with their first sexual partner. In my opinion, that could also pertain to ANY kind of sexual relationship, gay, straight, bisexual. So, my point is the RUMORS that George loved Anselmo MORE just irks me. George didn't tell his deep comparison between Anselmo and Kenny; his music stated his love for both men. ONLY George KNEW his extent of love for each man.

      @@Septbaby1958 I agree with a lot of what you say but I think the difference between George's love for Anselmo compared to his love for Kenny is that Anselmo died, he went from being elated and in love to deep sorrow, it's in his music. I just think the death of his first real lover left a whole in his heart that never healed. I believe he loved Kenny equally but they just broke up like other couples do, it's painful but not the same as bereavement.

    On top of his deeply philosophical, sensitive personality, people discriminated him for his sexuality throughout his career and treated him and Andrew poorly while in Wham! which of course spiraled him down into 20(?) years of depression and drugs after the final trigger was pulled when his lover and mother passed away. I cannot even bear to imagine what he had gone through and carry great empathy for him. He was a great man and he will be truly missed.

    For me by far the saddest celeb death of this year, where btw several big names have gone. He pretty much had everything in terms of a music artist (highest calibre), but he had huge likablity factor. Carried himself well on the whole, modest, kind,caring,introvert. When you think of the biggest male singers from Britain for the past 30+ years, two come to mind, George Michael & Elton John. Not going to bad mouth Elton, but i get the sense that the nation had an doration for George Michael as a person beside his music talent. Like you're not suppose to pick fav out of your children,brothers/sisters or cousins, etc... but deep down you might have one. That was George Michael IMO. Peoples fav!

    George was a GREAT musical performer and I really enjoyed listening and watching him.

      Lawrence Kithinji A SJW is anyone who tries to shut down conversations by having public outrage over what they perceive as "offensive" behavior, language, etc. The person above you is a right-wing SJW. They find homosexuals to be "offensive" and are crying and whining about it. Also, FOX News being offended by Bill Clinton's affair, being outraged by rap music, or by being called deplorables, are all examples of right-wing SJWs.

      gfgf fgff There is no evidence of that. Evidence shows that homosexual parents, who adopt children, on average, have a more productive household, and everything else being equal, the child does better in a household with homosexual parents than in a household with heterosexual parents. Also, using your logic, wouldn't infertile couples be "scum" as well. Just admit it. You hate gat people because you are a closeted homosexual. There are actual studies that show that a homophobe is almost always a closeted homosexual who has been repressed by Islamic culture or Christian culture, etc.

    As a straight man I recognized his sexuality from day one with WHAM, his talents and professionilsm as a songwriter, singer and producer trumps anything about his preferences sexually. I've always enjoyed his music and talents. As I too was born in 1963 and gone through those days of secretly and uncalled for discrimination back in the 80's.
    I honestly teared up after when he passed away, George gave so much of joy to all of us who appreciate him for his major talents he is so missed but his music lives on forever in the hearts and minds for those of us who appreciated him.

I wish I could’ve given him a huge!! Things are a bit different now. Almost everyone discusses their sexuality without issues or backlash. Maybe that was part of the reason he was here on earth. To show and say, this is me and I’m not ashamed. Live your truth. I’m a grown woman now but I still have a crush on him. I’ve been listening to his music all morning!

    I don't know why all the media were so interested in his sexuality or better, intrigued by his sexuality... In general, when it comes to celebrities, we all tend to identify ourselves with them. So if we are straight we prefer thinking they are straight too, vice-versa if we're gay. It just makes us feel more comfortable and confident with ourselves. And after all I'm here longing for each and every detail of his life, trying to catch every single word, smile, gesture... He is a kind of magnet attracting everyone to him. 💖
