| Jimmy Somerville grew up in Castlemilk.. one of the roughest schemes in Glasgow.
A hash dealer I knew there grew up with Jimmy
Jimmy was VERY openly gay.
Yes.. he got in a few fights over it, apparantly thats how he sustained his scar.
I was told the guy who did it came off worse though.
Wee Jimmy Somerville was a "heidbanger" as we say here.
That probably saved his neck.
I wish i could advise you on this Fmeh....
I've never had problems with anyones sexuality myself, hell I used to take my girlfriend of many years ago to one of the many gay clubs in Glasgow to avoid the whole getting into fights with assholes that persistantly harrassed her.
None of my gay friends were ever assaulted over it as far as I'm aware, if they were they never told me.
That sort of scenario you've painted for me is just so alien to me. |
