Little Richard GAY, Wife, Children & SAD DEATH

[@delightschwartz2155]

I knew him casually in the 1980s, as he went to church in Hollywood and i was the secretary there. This was not long after his auto accident, as his leg was still healing and he used a cane whenhe walked. Always immaculately dressed in beautiful suits when I saw him. He was very gracious and quietly did some very nice things for some homeless people in the area. R.I.P.

[@asmodeus4658]

Lot's of people help the homeless straight & otherwise but homosexuals don't have sex & make babies. Heck they don't have sex at all. That is very dangerous to the continuation of life on this planet...totally unnatural!

[@pamelarandell9091]

He was a very nice man.He traveled thu Tulsa International Airport were I worked Security Officer.He would talk to me every time hecame thru.Also gave me a Christian book and signed his name on it.God Bless him and may he Rest In Peace

[@TheOzarkExplorer]

I lived in the San Fernando Valley back in the 70s-80s and my brother and I stop at a red light late one night and he pulled up next to us. We waved and he gave us a big smile and waved back. He was driving a custom car, I can't remember what make it was, but most likely a Caddy or a Lincoln, but it was pretty old and well used. He had a sort of scruffy looking white woman with him, and they both looked like they'd been partying pretty hard. That's was kind of low point for him but not long after that 50s rock came back into style, probably when the movie "Grease" came out, and he was getting a lot more attention I have to assume he was doing pretty good then. He had to be fun to hang out with.

[@barbarafogg5100]

Rest in peace Little Richard 🙏🙏

[@kenneycooper6199]

He lived his life the way he did and I’m not the judge. But he repented and gave his life to Christ and that’s the most important highlight of his life. RIP Little Richard.

[@melviasheppard8466]

It was his life, not our life. He made a living in the entertainment industry. His personal life should be left alone. That’s between him and God.

[@da1da295]

That's the best part he gave his life to Christ right before he did. Sometimes sin just feels so good you just keep doing it.

When u separate from your physical body like a crackhead u r having withdrawal symptoms from all the things u did when u had a physical body. There is no "resting in peace" until that process is complete, which can take many months depending on the person & how powerful those earthly vibrations were!

I lived in LA for many years and had a cake business. One day, I was driving West (towards the beach) on Sunset Blvd when a big Limo pulled in front of me to go into LaMondrian and just stopped in the middle of the street (don't know if it's spelled right but it was a Hotel with may colors pained on it)/ OUT of the LIMO popped Little Richard...smiled his adorable smile and waved at me, got back into the Limo and they proceeded to go into the Hotel. A memory I'll always treasure JUST LIKE ONE DAY I was driving On LaCienega and Wilshire and stopped at a light...a brown Royles stopped next to me and there was Cary Grant all by himself. It was fun seeing these incredible people just living their lives.

But Elvis helped braking down that racism, and Little Richard loved Elvis for it. Watch 'Elvis and the black community- that ecco will never die' and 'Remembering Elvis'. LR talks about Elvis in both of them.

Another reason besides the racism is that he was gay & expressed it. Totally unacceptable in that era. I loved Little Richard and still listen and dance to his music. ❤he's playing for God now.😇

[@curlykube]

The bible says like sheep all have gone astray and sinned and have fallen short of God's glory.for there is no temptation which has seized you except which is common to man.but God is faithful. So how he lived his life is no different than how each of us have come up short before God. He was humble,he loved all people and he lived his live freely. And he died with dignity and he died in christ jesus. Now that is a death that is worthy in the sight of god.making it to the other side to be with king jesus and God our father

Reminder that gay means exclusively same sex attracted, partial attraction isnt gay and gay and bi are not synonymous. Thats also why he was a sex offender and all his infractions were with women, gay men are not akin to bi guys let alone pervy bi guys. Never forget that.
