Will Young: Spa ordered me to stop cuddling my boyfriend to appease homophobes
Openly gay singer Will Young has claimed that he was told to stop cuddling his boyfriend at a spa, because “homophobes” had complained.
The singer, who rose to fame on Pop Idol before coming out, said: “Would you believe on the day of Gay Pride I have been the victim of homophobia. I am SO mad.
“Essentially I was asked to stop hugging my boyfriend in a spa because it was offending another ‘conservative’ (read homophobic) spa visitor.
“I am looking forward to what the hotel have to say about this cos I am still seething. I actually can’t believe it.”
He is yet to name the hotel in which the incident took place.

I shower love on the ignorant, hope for the bigots and light into the dark crevices if their unfortunate minds
