RIP to a gay icon - making art out of pretty-boys pouting and posing, and dealing in poorly sourced gossip as a career. Now every queen with a personality disorder and an Instagram account is doing that, but he was a TRAILBLAZER

There had been concern for his wellbeing for quite a while. I hope the speculation was exactly that. RIP.

I thought he’d been dead a while but I think I had him confused with Derek Jarman. RIP, film studies lecturers across the country have just lost a hero.
