it was the 60s, it wouldn't be surprising if he had a 'beard' so he could protect his sexual identity til he felt comfortable coming out

Yeah, and he was one of the first celebrities to publicly come out, which was mighty audacious of him to do so.

grahamarthurchapman replied to your post “I’m beginning to suspect that Gray Chappers was in fact bisexual as...”

he and David were also both openly poly; Gray had sexual relationships with women as well as men outside of his relationship with David!!

He did? Even while he was with David?! And David was also poly? I had no idea of any of this, shame on me! Thanks for filling me in, bud!

I think its definitely a possibility he was in fact bisexual but leaned more towards men, I've read of a few stories about him being with women

Yeah that's what I thought, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seen the stories floating around :3

I read on the Python autobiography that he had a girlfriend, and was going to marry her, until he went abroad and met David. Apparently he stood outside the campsite gates where David was staying and eyed the men up, and really to a fancy to him

Ah, that's where I must've seen it! I knew I wasn't hallucinating. And I think also Cleese mentioned the party, amongst other things, during either Before the Flying Circus or Almost The Truth... or possibly both. I don't remember reading up about the campsite, tho, then again it's been a couple years since I last had a good old scan of the autobio.

Golly, learn something new every day, huh. Thanks guys!

captain-useless said: That’s ridiculous! I’d just print it from google, lol sorry

art costs, right? but I would never imagine that this much!

[captain-useless]

Okay guys, I need your help please

Does any body have any fundraising ideas I could do? My best friend is going to Uganda with his grandma and her church in June for two weeks to do charity work in some primary schools, and they've asked me to go as well so they've got two young people there. I'll hopefully be helping teach and building new toilet blocks. The only problem is I need to raise £700 in 24 weeks to pay for my accommodation and food. If you do please let me know, thanks :)
