  • this man's a legend

  • Clarke was not gay, but a british news paper accused him of paedophilia, but the sri lankan police with interpol investigated clarke and found that the allegations were baseless and cleared him. this happened while prince charles was visiting sri lanka, he was supposed to present the knighthood to clarke but clarke refused to have until he was investigated, this was 10 years ago. the sad thing is one single false report can destroy a life of truth. what matters is what clarke gave to the world.

  • Gay publications claiming Clarke as gay years ago .All this I learned in just doing a google search on his name and the word gay .

  • I'm talking about Clark living with his "buisness partner " for years in his home .I'm talking about gay community stories about him in gay publications .

  • I'm talking about quotes from Clark himself of parents overeacting .I'm talking about Clark never denying he was gay but answering "just mildly cheerful " over the years .

  • Bullettube , as Ive mentioned more than once I'm not talking about the dropped charges .I'm now talking about the stories his neighbors told of regular orgies .

  • "Supposedly" too often is used as a way of insinuating something is true. The real story is that the Mirror, which had to retract the story when they could not put up the proof they said they had, continued to make up stories about other celebs without being stopped.

  • The very fact that their are so many articles on this makes me think where there is smoke there is fire .I hope it is all a lie .But I can read .Say it ain't so Joe .

  • Bullettube -I use the word supposedly because I dont know who wrote them and if its legitamate .The sheer number makes me suspect there is something to it .

  • Supposedly? "Supposedly" is not the same thing as "actually said". Insinuations and gossip should never be confused with the facts.

  • No, the "Clarkives" as you call them, are nothing more then a collection of essays he wrote about what life would be like in 50 years. He had already done one titled "Life In the 21st Century".

  • There was no civil war at the time and I would not call the insurgency there now a civil war. Like most authors, he wanted to visit the place that would be the primary setting of the book. As he always had an interest in marine biology he found Sir Lanka a perfect place to do marine research.
