More than 15 years after coming out of the closet, George Michael admits that he had a particularly rough go of it following his revelation.
“For some strange reason, my gay life didn’t get easier when I came out. Quite the opposite happened, really,” he tells the BBC. “The press seemed to take some delight that I previously had a ‘straight audience’ and set about trying to destroy that. And I think some men were frustrated that their girlfriends wouldn’t let go of the idea that George Michael just hadn’t found the ‘right girl.'”
They weren’t alone, apparently, as the 50-year-old singer says “a lot of my extended family” still thinks he’s holding out for the right woman.
