I have no idea why you would infer allegations of sexual abuse. Maybe he was raised by an extremely homophobic father, I don't know.
because you implied that he's a closet homosexual because up to a point man on man sexual actions he thinks aren't gay, thus a possible conclusion is that he may have been abused up to a point and that that is how he justifies it to himself.
I dunno and frankly don't care, all we know is he had a difficult past but why should we know anymore than that? it's his life and too many celebrities get character assassinated to fill gossip columns.
His first wife, Mimi Rodgers, said she divorced him because they never fucked and he refused, claiming he " needed to remain celibate" because he was "seriously thinking of becoming a monk" and " needed to preserve the purity of his instrument".
From an interview she gave to Playboy magazine. The gay "rumors" go back to the very early 80s, before he was a star.
My comments are more related to Damo's, in that I too find the guy to be a completely contrived facade uncomfortable with himself.
and attitudes were a whole lot different back then.
