'Culture Club' star Boy George has lashed out at heavyweight world boxing champion, Evander Holyfield, over his "gay aren't normal" comment.
The 52-year-old singer wrote on Twitter that though he had a lot of admiration for him as he seemed dignified, cool and smart, he was miffed by his gay comment, the Mirror reported.
The 'Karma Chameleon' hitmaker also said that he thinks anyone visiting UK for any reason should be cautioned and forced to swear allegiance to "Queens and country".
He added that there should be a huge sign at customs saying that racism, sexism, homophobia and bad hair are not tolerated in Britain.
Holyfield had said on the reality show that being gay wasn't normal and "can be fixed", and compared homosexuality to a handicap.
