Brian Sewell - Performing homosexual acts in public places (82/90)

[@blackirishdog9422]

People always said you can get anything in Harrods.

NYC in the 70’s... same thing. Love you, Brian. RIP.

I love his voice and i never thought he would say F*ck. I thought he would say something like rumpey pumpey.

[@dominique2693]

I love his honesty..

I have always wondered how John Gielgud escaped unscathed from his public toilet incident.

[@m.oriley7700]

He didn't. Sir John was close to suicide over the incident .

[@ransomcoates546]

@@m.oriley7700 But the career resumed and he was a great star until his death. Perhaps there was a hiatus at the time people in the 60’s were not aware of, but he was knighted after all.

[@m.oriley7700]

@@ransomcoates546 Indeed, and he lived far into his old age.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

He worked in the theatre and even in those days, the theatre would forgive almost anything (except maybe a colleague's success). If he had enjoyed a similar eminence in a more conventional occupation, he would have been ruined. Mind you, he achieved a knighthood, but he was granted some years after Olivier and Richardson. So there was an aftermath of some sort, albeit a less ferocious aftermath.

[@Mack6234]

Love his accent. He looks to me like a Roman Emperor who could be charming one moment and the next moment order one to be thrown to the lions.

[@chrish12345]

one side was highly-cultured grand seignior, the other side was, let's face it, a rampant, juvenile nymphomaniac?

[@clieding]

@@chrish12345 Almost all juveniles would be nymphomaniacs if given the opportunity, particularly if they aren’t getting parental love. Human beings are highly sexual animals.

[@Extra_050]

​@@chrish12345 Yes, you could see why he felt such a kindred spirit with Salvador Dalí.

[@pepperco100]

When younger, I used to hate public restrooms because annoying old queens would vulgarly proposition seemingly every youth who entered the premises. I think they got a kick out of causing offense when they well knew they didn't have a snowball's chance in hell enticing the youth. Thankfully, as an old man I am ignored.

[@TomorrowWeLive]

I think you must be going to the wrong public toilets. I'm a 'youth' and I've never seen anything of the kind. These days nobody could get away with that sort of thing anyway. The police'd be there in an instant.

[@pepperco100]

@@TomorrowWeLive Perhaps things have changed for the better with the advent of social media enabling those likeminded to find peers. fyi -- 40+ years ago, the worst bathrooms were in rich urban malls.

Cruising can be so much fun, even these days of sanitised options

[@RobertBurke-tq9zu]

Ted Heath, i think is safe to assume he was a homosexual, but it seems he was too afraid to act on it, for obvious reasons.

[@ericborland3292]

How could they be able to slip through the net

[@barry5787]

Homosexuality between men will always be more aggressive and less sensitive and as the male is a loner by nature and knowing my own heterosexual insecurities and demons, well; makes you want to give him a hug. Maybe aggressive is the wrong word.

Days long past
