People say, ‘You should have been up front about it’, but you need to be comfortable. You don’t want to get to 30 or 40 and be dealing with your sexuality. I wanted to do it my way. I didn’t want my label or management to be a part of it, I wanted to write my own statement and express what I’ve gone through and dealt with.”

Reading Magistrates’ Court heard how Mr Prior shouted homophobic comments, sang anti-gay songs and pinned gay pornographic images to the outside of his neighbours’ home. Mr Prior denied the offence claiming that any song he had sung was for his entertainment only. The court heard on Wednesday of last week how Mr Prior regularly changed the words in song lyrics to make them sound anti-gay, which he would sing loudly in his garden. Giving evidence, Mr Guy said he and his partner were subject to regular taunts from the defendant. The taunts grew so bad that the couple started making notes of the dates, times and details of all the comments.”
