Benny Hill was a very funny man but also a tortured soul . I read that he just loved making people laugh but was very lonely and a depressive .
Whether he was gay or straight some people , however famous or talented just fade once their star has gone out
I think it's really sad
Frankie Howerd , Larry Grayson , Benny Hill were old school . As a kid I had no idea that their double meaning quips and flamboyance pointed away from womanising and towards homosexuality .
They were very funny men and its sad that what they did in their private lives perhaps he'd them back .
I think these days society is so much more accepting . But you still get some idiots . A fella I know says he's disgusted by the Cardiff Gay Mardis Gras and all those blokes in tight shorts dancing around . We all tell him to stop going if it offends him that much .
