Cliff Richard gay question

You would think that having been a pop star since 1456 that Sir Cliff Richard would be able to handle the press.

But it has emerged that the 66-year-old stormed out of an interview British star Sir Cliff Richard stormed out of an interview in the Middle East

A reporter from Emirates Today in Dubai asked the well-known heterosexual, who once dated Sue Barker and gay icon Olivia Newton-John, if he really is a ladies man just like in his songs.

The man who brought us the classic pop hit Congratulations stormed out of the room - man he is fiesty!

Sir Cliff has had 14 number ones in the UK.

I remember Cliffie when his career had just started and Larry Parnes tried out all his boys! Blue Ford Consul drophead Coupe to open Bunnel & Boden's new record shop by Altrincham Bus Station in 1958!That's when I remember Cliff - a wank fantasy for me!Thank God no-one asked him about Frank Ifield.

[JR]

You DID mean "well known closet homosexual" right? ;-)

[sonia]

If cliff has pop star since 1456 as you had stated that would make him 550 years old
Very Funny

[kerry Hart]

WHY can't you leave sir cliff alone you media morons.....haven't you got any other news to report.....cliff has given pleasure for nearly fifty years and it's about time you left him alone....what are you jealous cause he's an honest and genuine man who cares....GO GET A LIFE!!!!

[Kerry]

What do you mean Thank God no one asked him about Frank Ifield? Cliff has been a pop star since 1958. How do you know he is gay? Do you have any proof?

[Beatnik]

There must be a reason why gays feel that Cliff is one of them - apart from Cliff not showing any sexual interest in women. I suppose it's his somewhat camp appearance and behaviour. The way he turns his back to the audience and swings his hips from side to side looks gay. But then again - he's never shown any sexual attraction to men. So insinuating that he's gay doesn't seem justified either.

[Casey]

Cliff had an affair and a sexual relationship with a girl when he was 19. She is the ex-wife of one of the Shadows. Her name is Carol Costa.

[Anna]

Maybe Cliff does not care about sex. He may be asexual.

[Tricia Johnson]

Huh?! At least, Cliff Richard will not in a million years be caught in action the way George Michael had in a men public toilet in Los Angeles!!! YUCK!! I wish there wouldn't be any other Brit bring such shameless act as that stupid moron!

[Debbi]

I agree about George Michael. George said Cliff is vile and vulgar. It looks like to me that George is the one that is vile and vulgar. But if Cliff is gay and using Christianity too hide behind then I hav eno respect for him either. But I still like him better than George who I don't like at all.

Whatever Cliff Richard's sexuality actually is - straight, bi, gay, asexual or something else, I believe him when he says he is celibate. It's his life & his choice. I think he is basically a sincere person. And I'm sure he must find the rumours that he is a closet gay very tedious at times.

Being a bit, or even very, camp doesn't mean a man must be gay. Lionel Blair and his wife Susan, celebrated their Ruby wedding anniversary in March 2007. They have three children and one grandchild. Maybe Lionel is bi, I wouldn't know, but he clearly isn't homosexual.

I knew a dancer many years ago who had appeared in Blackpool in the sixties dancing on a show with Frank Ifield and Cliff Richard. She told me she walked into a dressing room to find Cliff and Frank with their arms around each other, kissing. She was totally reliable and I can't see any reason to doubt her. Cliff actually lives with a guy now so isn't it about time to admit he's gay. Cliif Richard doesn't do drugs. He doesn't do acholol. He doesn't wreck hotel rooms. He doesn't have sex. How do we know all this. BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS BLEEDING TELLING US! That's why he gets so much stick because he acts so high and mighty and holier than thou. I think he's probably lacking in IQ.

[Elsa]

If the man is gay, not gay, drinking, sleeping with other people, he is what we call a human being. Making very very good music

[Larry]

Cliff may have just been hugging or kissing him as a friend not what you are suggesting.

[Lisa]

I did not know Frank Ifield was gay. On his website there are pictures of Frank with his family and grandkids.

[Chris]

Maybe the dancer lied to get attention.

[Valerie]

American Idol singer Clay Aiken done the same thing said he is a Christian when he isn't.

I used to like Cliff and be a big fan of his but NO MORE! I no longer like him .He is a liar and a hypocrite. Doing disgusting immoral things!I used to look at him with admiration and love him for being what I thought was a nice decent honest and moral person but no more as I know he isn't. Now when I look at him I get nauseated knowing how deceitful and two-faced he is if what I read is true about him.

All people have their own weaknesses, it's funny how these guys say such things as if they are perfect. Shame on you! Is there something evil that Cliff has done to you guys? Or let let us assume that Cliff is a gay, is that enough to hate him? Being a gay is not a sin. It is a sin to have sexual relationship with the same sex, but do you have proof that Cliff had or have sexual relationship with the same sex? Oh com'on! People tend to forget 100 hunderd good deeds that someone did by seeing just only one mustake or weakness. Loving your enemy is not impossible. They just cannot understand real meaning of it. There is an institution that can teach you how to... I hope you'll find it. Don't be hypocrites!

[Jodi]

It is a sin to have sex outisde of marriage and it is a sin to have sex with the same sex too. If Cliff has lied all these years about being a Christian and a good moral person then he has deceived his fans who have an image of him that is not true. I am a good moral person myself. Jimmy Swaggart (he is a minister and is Jerry Lee Lewis the singer's cousin) lied and deceived people to and ran around on his wife with prostitutes and he was supposed to be a good preacher and high moral person. But he wasn't.

[Stacy]

Also I don't think a real Christian would have turned down meeting Elvis because Elvis was fat as Cliff did. Elvis was still a human being and people still cared about him. I would have met him if I had the chance to just because it was Elvis if nothing else. A real Christian would have compassion for people fat or not.

[Mocker]

Was Cliff Richard born gay or was it the way he was reared?

[Cary]

To mocker I have no idea.

[Jane]

To Mocker: It could be both. I noticed a lot of men whose mothers are overly protective of them or pet them or spoil them when the men are little that the men are gay or end up gay. Anthony Perkins for one (the man that played in Psycho). Then again some don't.
