Oh, the horror! Yes, I actually liked these guys (well, maybe I should replace “guys” with something a little less gender-specific) in their heyday. Sure, they had a bizarre appearance, but if you turn off the TV and put away the album cover, what difference does it make? Regardless of the performers’ appearances, I really liked “Time (Clock Of The Heart)”, “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”, and a few of these other songs way back when. My feelings about Culture Club are best summed up with another of my dreaded anedotes here. Upon my comment that I actually liked some of Culture Club’s music, a former co-worker once said that he’d read an article once in which lead singer and seemingly-would-be chanteuse Boy George claimed that the whole point of Culture Club was “to make good love songs for gay men.” 
I have no idea if this quote is accurate or not. But the point of it is: if I have heard these songs for years, and never equated their lyrics with any particular sexual orientation, it’s a good love song, period, and who cares anyway? Anyway, I’ll step down from my soapbox now, and I’m sure if you were offended by this, I’ll certainly hear about it.
