Paul McCartney Blasts Gay Lennon Claims

Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono are furious over a new book called 'John Lennon: The Life,' written by respected Beatles biographer Philip Norman, which claims that Lennon fantasized about sleeping with his mother and wanted a gay relationship with McCartney.

"I don't think [the gay claims] are true," McCartney told the Sun. "John never ever tried anything, I slept with him a million times. I've seen him on tour roaring drunk, out of his mind in the early days before he sobered up and went to rehab. Roaring drunk and it was always with a female."

"If you've got a little gay tendency and you're roaring drunk I'd have caught him once," McCartney concluded.

Both McCartney and Ono initially approved the book, and even granted interviews. Not surprisingly, Ono, 75, has completely withdrawn her endorsement of the book, which is due out next month.

What a bunch of crap. If the Beatles were gay it wouldn't come out in 2008.
Anyone who chooses to believe this nonsense is doing exactly that..."CHOOSING" to believe it.

What's the problem...can't good looking men be heterosexual anymore or is it out of fashion?

so what if he had been gay....what troubles me more is that both his sons have told similar stories that he was mentally abusive and that he basically abandoned Julian. I loved John, but as a father I have no respect for him.

Most people only wait until a person is dead to accuse them of being gay. They do that so you can't defend yourself.
