Too bad Morrissey has gone all right wing UKIP For Britan supporter.
ETA and at least for me he still sounds like an annoying whiny kid who can’t get their way.
ETAMORE as I have trouble keeping up with all those crazy parties on the other side of the pond thanks @beschizza

In rock music, maybe… but there were several out gay men during the pansy craze of the 1920s… Gene Malin comes to mind…
But Morrissey is a dick is right on the money… Can he go away now?

And check out this Jobriath remembrance from the awesome Marc Almond!
But @beschizza is correct that the Morrissey cover is good…

For Britain, not UKIP. Related, but not the same organization.
There is something odd going in the UK, you might call it “reactionary democrats”, people who think decoupling the British state from Europe will lead to more democracy, but only see themselves in the mirror, not the people they stand with or those awfully long knives they carry.
Morrissey might be a bad example, what with him being such a twat, but I’m seeing this a lot behind the smooth veils of facebook.

I’m being a bit facetious! Morrissey is not really the worst gay in show business, either, at least while Milo still draws breath.

Too bad Morrissey’s a huge shithead, a racist and supports the far right For Britain Party. This isn’t anything new either, he’s been saying racist shit in interviews since the fucking 1980s, but his fans let it all slide because of his sad boy song lyrics and veganism.
His former bandmate Johnny Marr is none of those things and actually records good new music, in addition to playing Smiths songs live at his shows. Support him, not Morrissey. His last album Call the Comet was really good and he’s currently touring the US.

He was saying racist shit in interviews going back to the 1980s, this isn’t a new development, he’s always sucked but gotten a pass by his fans because he’s a gay vegan who writes sad songs.
