Boy George is not a vegan

[edit]

There is a current discussion on the list of vegans talk-page about Boy George not being vegan. It is relevant here because his article claims in the "personal life" section "Boy George had become a raw vegan after years of occasionally trying the diet".

Firstly, Boy George has tweeted that he is not vegan in 2013 . Secondly he has said more recently (November 2022) "I’m vegetarian, not vegan. I couldn’t live in a world without cheese… I have cheese every day."

Lastly, Boy George eats gelatine found in sweets . I believe we should remove the claim he is a raw vegan from the article as it is outdated and inaccurate. Psychologist Guy (talk) 19:18, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Boy George eating fermented duck eggs . I am going to go ahead and remove the claim he is a raw vegan from the article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 19:47, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support for Zionism

[edit]

In July 2026, with the genocide of Gaza and the West Bank ongoing, George released a new song entitled We Will Dance Again, which voices support for Israel's military action in Palestine. Posted on X and Instagram with the Hebrew title עוד נרקוד alongside its English translation. The message of support for the genocide contradicted reports from the UN and Amnesty International, and the online reaction to the track was vitriolic. ~2026-41864-84 (talk) 21:31, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'd be interested in finding evidence of prior Zionist activity in order to elevate that aspect beyond a single factoid. JaredThornbridge (talk) 16:50, 29 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Good point. Id be interested to whether the editor concerned actually knows what zionism is. Shiloh1914 (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
The UN and Amnesty International are not independent institutions and cannot be used as trustworthy sources. Shiloh1914 (talk) 21:00, 9 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Alleged genocide

[edit]

Just a few comments on this disputed term

  • the original text added did not say "alleged"
  • The word was added and disputed. WP:BRD, should it be applied, therefore applies to its addition, not its removal.
  • Sources used do accuse the song of implied denialism
  • This is a controversial topic that isn't going to get resolved on an article about a singer. So I'd suggest we take the lead from the article specifically about it.

No one disputes that it is an alleged genocide. It's widely disputed whether it was a genocide. So why would a Wikipedia article about a musical artist use the language that is widely disputed? ~2026-43043-64 (talk) 23:31, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
The Gaza genocide is a genocide. It's "widely disputed" in the sense that some people engage in Gaza genocide denial. 1857a (talk) 22:05, 6 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
