Whilst his comments should rightfully be criticised, if you read between the lines there was a lot more struggle to his comments in comparison to the standard homophobe's comments. https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7990551/richard-sexuality-religion-history Regardless, RIP Little Richard.

(no hate) Well you have about 60 years of your life left to search a little about him and find out that he was literally bullied, and kicked out of house due to his " gay behavior". ( no hate).

It’s his own body and his own life. If that’s how he feels, how does that affect us in any way? He was an icon that wasn’t afraid to wear makeup, be exaggerated/feminine, and was a pioneer for his time. A time where if you were openly gay in the industry, you’d be crucified (not literally). And yet, he was huge, and many other artists actually borrowed/stole his music and got more recognition than he did, unfortunately. At the end of the day, who cares what his views were. If that’s what brought him peace in his last days, so be it. Let’s appreciate his art, and not his beliefs about himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
