Face the Nation - Boy George, Jerry Falwell, Gore Vidal, Leslie Stahl - 1984 Part 3

Part 3 of 3-- Topic: feminizing of America. Face the Nation, looking to broaden it's appeal trumps up this subject for your consideration. In his book, Bob Schieffer says it's the first and last time they interviewed a cross dresser for the show. Too bad, because Boy George made more sense than the rest of the panel. Not a new topic for TV or even rock, apparently nobody on the panel had heard of Little Richard.
Gore Vidal chimes in- along with Jerry Falwell. From 1984--

A male is someone with male organs, a woman is someone with female organs. male's and female's don't need to look a certain and way and dress a certain way, boy george is a very smart man

But i do agree that the chauvenistic hip-hop crowd should dissapear and never come back! Even though I am conservative, I do like nice fashion and I grew up seeing Boy George and Steve Strange and always liked their creativity, and I do like new-romantic fashion, but I do not like sterile people like Jerry Falwell with that flat-top hair and ugly suits

@TheNouveauxdecadence There is a difference between dressing different and overt queerness

I am very impressed with Boy George's interview. He is very intelligent and I admire him for being himself. I believe that everyone should live as they choose without being judged as long as they are not hurting anyone. Everyone is different and I have alot of respect for Boy George, and I admire him greatly.
