George is not only very intelligent, but wise!

[@andyroo9381]

I grew up with Boy George and Culture Club. I bought their music. I watched their videos. I saw them in concert. I turned out alright.

[@sergiolams]

What is alright?😂

[@rui569]

40 years ago and still here we are.

[@franswa529]

Boy George, a 21st century time traveler, opening the mind of a 19th century way of thinking Lady…..

[@laputan_]

unintentionally hilarious

[@bryanmorgan4929]

Love George! ❤❤ Thank you, CBS!

[@koisneurotypical]

I remember being 12 and wanting to see this episode and for some reason missing it. Thank you for uploading it! I’m 52 now, better late than never… 😺

[@SMBiggestFan]

I would have never thought he was from England, because I heard his song on the radio here in Texas. Glad found it out now 😅

[@jimcummings6095]

George had real talent! Who gives a frick about how he dressed. I will always love the music he made/ makes. It's upsetting that he had to constantly answer these questions. Why was it never about the music?

[@southernivy5557]

Boy George seem s to have a huge heart, and I wish people would leave his sexuallity alone. He can dress how damn well he pleases!

[@palebeachbum]

The general theme here seems to be a fear that androgyny would totally consume and take over American culture when in reality they hadn't considered that there has always been and will always be a spectrum of different kinds of gender expression among men and women.

[@elm1230]

Every man and woman, comes from a woman and a man. Choosing feminine or masculine expression is a preference,yet it’s all human. We aren’t all one thing, our experience as human includes both of those expressions.

[@dolislin]

"men are being more urged to be sensitive" proceeds to make that statement after showing Beat it, which is literally a song about being tough and standing up for yourself😂

From the Archives: Boy George on "Face the Nation," July 1984 1739pm 9.11.23 just watched gremilns. quite telling.... he was my sister's fav pin up boy. "a bunch of puffs and spazzes" as i used to call them... so don't come looking for me if you wanna lay affectional discourse and/or affectation at the door of the more tolerable of the siblings - cos it aint me!!!!! p.s unfortunately my answer(s) do not qualify me for jobs or any kindda social interaction or with reference to being made accessible... the 80's, eh!? tch!!! house husbandry doesn't make a person more sensitive, it makes people more irritable. man and wife can get by. man alone just about manages, woman alone probably has a breakdown.... "sexual confusion"? hardly... no idea why you had a bunch of suits chit chatting about popular culture when they weren't part of it... unless these guys, after dishing out the hyperbole and stern rejoinders to these (absent) confused kids, ended up donning the leather and lenses and sauntered off to the local S & M club.... wine and middle aged spread cheese dos i think they call such establishments... ummmmmmmm, did hitler invade england? i missed that lesson...

[@JJONNYREPP]

@boxlabs 1821pm 9.11.23 the daily star was obsessed with old BG... like i give an eff, though.. you gotta a problem with BG take it up with BG... not my problem. is it?

@boxlabs Comments on ‘From the Archives: Boy George on "Face the Nation," July 1984’ 9.11.23 1831pm spot on!!!? more poison, one surmises...?

[@dilbertdoe601]

[@jeanniehughes1761]

Jerry Boy George is still here and Michael Jackson will never be forgotten and David Bowie will never ever be forgotten too and there is a Vice President a woman not that I like her abs we had a Black President and didn’t strange things came out about Jerry and his wife I think it came out Jerry was gay by his wife Tammi and one of 5hem went to jail😂😂

[@whitsundaydreaming]

He loves the world except for all the people.

[@LuciferSam2024]

Wow! It's really dd to remember the 1980s- what kind of curmudgeons people were, like the interview panel here.

[@BillieBailey-th3lc]

I CANNOT believe what a BORING drone Leslie Stahl is here!

[@Willsontime]

I think it was a bit silly even 40 years ago.

[@watchxfiles]

But that generation knew their gender

[@yvonneplant9434]

Which generation? Michael Jackson and Boy George were/are Boomers.

[@LizaFan]

Why is a good or an ideal to "know" one's gender? How does one come to "know" gender? Is it given or assigned unto a person? Does that knowledge depend on received wisdom? How does one "have" a gender? Is identity a kind of property?

[@watchxfiles]

In the 80s it was not a discussion. You were either gay bi or straight. No one cared otherwise. I miss the 80s

[@TigersBlood23]

Now we know that people can be influenced in their choice of sexuality. We understand that the messages that children are inundated with do have an effect on the way they turn out.

[@LizaFan]

Do you think same-sex attraction is volitional?
