i didnt know what you meant for a minute there! You have probably beaten me already by now!

Is she slandering my good name again.

'warm feeling' my fins and flippers. She's probably in the lead by now. Don't worry, I'll keep her occupied so everyone else can catch up.

I'm on a roll!!!!

Fattylizards are built for it.

Richard Cole (Communards)
Fanny Craddock?

Rita May Brown
Jane Rule
Jeanette Winterston

Fanny Craddock??? Really! I'm impressed.

in that case i am probably wrong!
darn - i thought jeanette w had gone already!!!

Oh I do hope not. Claiming Fanny would make my night, no pun intended.

Don't think Jeanette had been named, but we might have had Martina twice. Going to have to chect the backlog more thoroughly.

Daphne du Maurier
Anne Heche
Stephen Gately

Richard Chamberlain
Dale Winton
Gene Robinson (New Hampshire Bishop (almost!)

Some more musician-type people (with some background info), including one linked with a previously mentioned composer: -

Peter Pears (tenor singer, boyfriend of Benjamin Britten)

Also, another composer: -

Francis Poulenc (one of "Les Six", once said to Britten: "I'd like to see Peter [Pears] in a dress." )

And another more recent musician of note: -

Richard Fairbrass (one of Right Said Fred, didn't he present some gay show on BBC2 a couple of years ago?)

Hopefully this lot should also be accepted, even though it's only minutes since my last entry! Three comedians that we (shamefully) have neglected to mention (although they are mostly passed on): -

Graham Chapman (see Monty Python, Dead Parrot Sketch, etc.)
Kenneth Williams (impossible to summarise his career, so I won't! )
Hugh Paddick (was Julian to Kenneth Williams' Sandy in "Round the Horne" - refer to BBC7 website! Also recently interviewed for Gay Times, I believe)

Kenneth Williams has already gone, sorry.

Richard Fairbrass presented Gaytime TV for a while.

Alan Turing ()
Andy Warhol
Valeris Solanas (SCUM lesbian who shot at him.)

Matthew Waterhouse (actor who played Adric in Doctor Who)

John Nathan Turner (RIP) Producer of Doctor Who for years, and also All Creatures Great and Small Unit Manager.

Gary Downing (BBC Unit Manager)

Donna McPhail ? i was sure about her then started to doubt myself

Mort, Gene Robinson already went. Sorry.

I've updated the list (A1360153). We're up to 115 names.

Yay all of us and all of them.

Oops 116 now

Since we've had Jimi Somerville we should also have,

Larry Steinbeck
