What happens when Republicans go out dancing?
DJ Beaten For Playing Too Much 'Gay Music'
by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff

Posted: August 7, 2005 4:00 pm ET

(London) Andrew Cleeson says he was just playing the music people wanted to hear at a dancehall in Dorset. But, for construction worker Roy Nash there was just too much "gay music" being spun.

When Cleeson started playing the Wham! hit Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Nash, 48, charged the DJ booth, crashing over the turntables and headbutting Cleeson.

The shocked DJ received a broken nose.

Wham! was composed of George Michael, who is gay, and Andrew Ridgeley, who is not.

Cleeson says he was playing a string of hits from the 1970s and 1980s, when Nash first came to the booth to complain about the music being "too gay". But, the DJ says he didn't take the criticism seriously.

When someone asked for the old Michael tune he complied and Nash "went berserk".

3. It sure seems like it.
When I was in New Orleans, I spent most of time in gay clubs - because they played the best music. Fun people in there too. Very uninhibited. They were amazed that a straight guy like me felt so at home in there. :D

5. Technically, I think George Michael isn't gay. He's bi.
In any case, I think Roy Nash doth complain too much.

If anyone knows Roy Nash's phone number, maybe you can call and play some music on his answering machine?

Wake me up... before you go go...

7. mmmmm or Father Figure, his had to have sucked to instill those values.
Of course you are totally correct on George Michael as well. ... guess being Bi still makes you gay. Its usually either that or "its just a phase"... lol.
