Title: Larry Grayson
Post by Mike D on Mar 20^th, 2007, 10:16am

I was listening to the podcast of The Now Show on my way to work this morning when I learned that Larry Grayson was from Nuneaton. If you go to the town, it all George Elliot this and George Elliot that, naming pretty well everything after her. The town seems to be keeping rather quiet about Larry.

According to wikipedia:

Quote:

It was said that he had been incensed at an objection by one councillor at a Nuneaton Town council meeting to the idea of a monument for Larry in the town. Apparently the comments made were unpleasantly homophobic. Larry asked his family to ensure that no memorial to him was ever to be erected there. He is buried in an unostentatious grave with other members of his family in Nuneaton,the town he loved.

which kind of explains it really.
