Is Cliff Richard Gay?

[MadMen]

What is going on with Cliffs hair?! Is it a syrup? And what is with those 80s style denim jeans and trainers!

Anyway, just wondering, is he gay??

He's always seemed more 'content' or 'relatively happy' rather than gay when I've seen him.

//...I find his very weak and strained..//

A bit like Paul McCartney

[MadMen]

Don't like him either!

[lady-janine]

cliff richard homosexual, surely not, he is so:
macho - no, that's not quite the right word;
maculine - no, tht'ot he ight word either
mincing - ah well, well, well . . . . . . . . .

who cares. just persuade him never to sing outside his bathroom.

[mccfluff]

after three pages i'm still trying to figure out if i care enough to know the answer....

[lady-janine]

sorry typo that's not quite the right word either

[MadMen]

I think this will be a question that, for me, I will never have answered.

Maybe if I met Cliff, I could ask him myself. Hmm I wonder if he's got a fan club I could write to.

I don't actually mind some of his songs. Saviors Day is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

is C R gay ? is the pope a catholic ? ( oh wait we dont have one ATM )

It does look like Cliffe has succombed to a wig - and given his money, it should be a better one than that!

As to his sexuality - no-one is going to know until after his death.

Anyone famous who enjoys a public perfsonna but keeps their private life private is the subject of speculation which is exactly proportional to their fame and longevity as a public figure/

Ergo, people have wondered about Cliff for years!

As to his sleeping with women early on - that is no indication of long-term sexuality - especially for a pop star in the early sixties when being gay was still illegal.

We'll al know one day.

I had ,unch with Cliff at a TV shoot oncce, he was charming, and I would have loved to chat properly, but also at the table was the late Graham Starke who appeared (I think) in Summer Holiday, and unlike everyone else at the table, thought that should be be topic of conversation for the duration of the meal!

"unlike everyone else at the table, thought that should be be topic of conversation for the duration of the meal!"

Haha :)
Yeah, I imagine Cliff to be a really nice person. A bit boring maybe, but nice.

[DJHawkes]

oh i remember graham starke, he had a rubbery type of face and could play comic roles just by grimacing.

Heterosexual men don't tend to abstain from sex with women through choice.

He hasn't taken any vows of celibacy such as the ones required by a monk or priest, and as a wealthy good looking man would have no trouble finding a partner, yet he does choose to abstain.

[andy-hughes]

I think it is simply a matter of personal choice - but as I said, we are never going to know until he pegs it.

[MadMen]

How old is he now?

[Mick-Talbot]

His is still very young.............the real Peter Pan of Pop

(not like that fake American who falsely claimed to be the Peter pan of pop)

[MadMen]

Don't start on MJ!

He was the KING of pop.

[ludwig]

I don't know if he's ever been asked if he considers homosexual activity to be sinful (note the word activity), but the answer could be revealing.

[MadMen]

Ludwig, that is a good idea.
Andy-Hughes might be able to line up some kind of meeting, and ask him this!
