We had a South-African version of Danny La Rue by the name of Evita se Perron, but i remember him telling us that one could be locked up in jail for having such "material". It was awesome and enjoyed every minute watching it. We come a long way since then and we had Danny La Rue and others along the way to make the yourney a litte bit more enjoyable.

The article was clear about the fact that Danny did live with his gay partner for years. Skimming an article is one thing, selective reading is another. I had never heard of Danny La Rue, really, but the minute I read the names of Judy Garland, Noel Coward and Dame Elizabeth Taylor, I instinctively knew I was reading the obituary of a giant in the entertainment industry.
