Emily Dickinson

Billie Jean King

A few from the classical music world - although I assure you this isn't an attempt to bring culture to this discussion!

P.I. Tchaikovsky
Benjamin Britten
Aaron Copland

i have just realised the error of my ways. After playing this goddamned game, nay, co-inventing it, I have not suplicated myself before myGod. Our Francis who art in heaven, let me name -

Frankie Howerd

Forgotton, but not forsaken.

And in much the same spirit, let me name
Brian Epstein
Without whom...

I don't think there's anyone I could add to this illustrious company. So, to them . To him

Fatty

jimmy somerville (did we have him yet?) - met him in a Glasgow club once after a gig - he queue jumped in front of me in the ladies toilets once cos the queue was shorter in the girls!!!!

Nijinsky
Wayne Sleep
Vera Britten

Martina Navratilova
Iain Smith MSP
Chris Clark MP (I think that's him the former Arts Minister)

Actually, it's Chris Smith MP, although you're right about him being involved in the Arts - I think he was Minister for Culture and Heritage or something like that. Although may I also tentatively add: -

Ron Davies MP

if only for the notorious way that he was outed? (I apologise if this proposal insults anyone in here, but he was the only so-far unlisted MP I could think of!)

Emilienne d'Alencon.

Freddie Mercury

Chris Smith was the minister for Culture and Sport, two odd bedfellows if ever there were...

Hmmmm .... just finishing off the composers here (and revigorating this topic!).

Sir Michael Tippett
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies (he's still alive, would you believe?!)
Leonard (Lenny) Bernstein (he isn't, unfortunately)

But then again, there may be more - just can't think of them at the moment ....

Dana International

Argh, can't remember who we've had.
to check Backlog

me neither i am going to end up repeating them - do you lose a point if you repeat one?

You do lose a point...so I've helpfully created a list of the names given so far: A1360153

Which now includes

Rhona Cameron
Sue Perkins

wow - we have done so many already!!!!!

Lizardy is totaling up the scores so far...

Any thoughts on what would ba a good 'winning' score?

Hi y'all

So back to the Great Gay Game:

THE SCORES SO FAR

Speckly - 20
Mort - 18
Fatty - 14
Mikeo - 7
Cupid Stunt - 4
St Demon - 3
Mandragora - 1
Kerr Avon - 1

So there we have it. And I can see that I'm going to have to have a big think, and engage in this convo to get my points up up up.

Yay to us all, keep on with the queers,

Fatty

David Bowie
