Utterly heartbroken. Woke up to scroll and saw this news and now im crying. The world has lost a beautiful soul and a gay icon. I'm glad he got to live out his last days responding to fan emails and living with his housekeeper, who was his dear friend, in peace. We were lucky to have had him being his genuine and happy self when he was, and after he was bullied into hiding and depression, again we were lucky he would respond like this to all his fans personally.
