Boy George defends himself against 'biphobic' backlash

Boy George is defending himself after being accused of being biphobic following a series of tweets.

"Bi-phobic? Yeah, of course. Suck my bigot toe!" the singer tweeted in response to various tweets dated Jan. 2 to Jan. 3.

According to Queerty, it all started with a now-deleted tweet he posted about George Michael's boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz. After Fawaz said that tweets from his account claiming that Michael had committed suicide were a result of a hack, Boy George reportedly tweeted, "'My computer got hacked' is like 'I'm bisexual' or 'I'm sniffing because I have allergies.'"

George responded, "My tweet was not directed at you? How big is your ego right now? Lots of people use 'bisexual' when they really mean 'gay.'"
