One weird dude!

[plain talk]

All hat and no ... whatever.

[SERKIT]

My two preferred pronouns are ‘modern form of attention-seeking’ and ‘none of your f’n business’. I respond to either one, thank you.

[SeekAndFind]

Fans insisted they were 'heartbroken' by the comment and felt 'genuinely disappointed' that an LGBTQ icon would post such a comment

Here's Boy George's Response:

However, despite the backlash, the 80s pop icon went on to joke about his comment and defended himself by insisting that there is 'nothing you can teach' him and saying all are welcome in his house

When even Boy George thinks this has all gone too far, it has definitely gone too far.

[Patriot Babe]

Always loved Boy George and his songs. Even Boy George see that things have gotten so far off.

[Jeff Vader]

He may be gay,but he’s not a fag

And he knows attention seeking! LOL! He’s absolutely right though!

When even Boy George thinks this has all gone too far, it has definitely gone too far.

When a person has a difficult enough time remembering a given name, how is he supposed to remember some arcane illogical pronoun usage for every acquaintance? It's a useless and impossible expectation. A swift kick in the crutch is the only thing that makes sense for the poofed-up attention whore.

The Gaystapo will have him back peddling soon & issuing a “misspoke” statement..
Hope he doesn’t though!

[griswold3]

Seems Boy George is not going to be “cancelled “ by the Mob

“Always loved Boy George and his songs.”

Don’t say that here - people will question your sanity!

[Right Wing Assault]

Wow, it's amazing that the filter makes him appear he was wearing make up!

[Orosius]

He looks like a gay Orthodox rabbi in that shot.
