For some strange reason, my gay life didn't get easier when I came out. Quite the opposite happened, really.
From George Michael
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.'
In the years when HIV was a killer, any parent of an openly gay person was terrified. I knew my mother well enough that she would spend every day praying that I didn't come across that virus. She'd have worried like that.
I knew, regardless of anything else, singing in front of an orchestra was going to be inspirational. It would feed me.
