The Victims We Know So Well

Boy George has been jailed for 15 months for falsely imprisoning a male escort in his apartment in east London. In his sentencing the judge said: "Whilst I accept that Mr Carlsen's physical injuries were not serious or permanent ... he was deprived of his liberty and human dignity without warning or proper explanation to him of its purpose, length or purported justification." Fair enough, although I thought you forfeited your "human dignity" the minute you become a gay hooker for Boy George. The sad thing is of all the '80s gender benders, Boy George has "turned out" the best. Watch "What Ever Happened to the Gender Benders" HERE.

I watched all 5 parts of that documentary on YouTube. Great link, thank you! Amazing stories. How much of a disaster have Steve Strange, Marilyn and George become?
