Charly Boy Narrates How Living With Gay, Transgender People Influenced Him

Responding to the question asked by the host, Charly Boy said,

“I used to have a girly girl look back in the day, I used to wear a lot of rouge, makeup, lipstick and whatever, and that’s where the gay speculations started.

People thought that I was that-way inclined until my friend Tina looked at me and was like, ‘nah, you need something more macho, more masculine.'”

Charly, whose daughter came out as a lesbian in 2018,  further revealed that during his last years in America, most of his friends were transvestites: people who dressed in clothes primarily associated with the other sex (typically used of a man). He clarified:

“I wasn’t one but I just loved them; I loved how they switched so I used to study them.

“If you remember that on the Charly Boy Show I had this character called Linda, my alter ego. That was easy for me to do because I had been around bi, gay and transgender people, so I picked all the nuances from that.”

The singer asserted that even though being around his fluid friends greatly influenced his personality, he had always seen himself as a trendsetter.

“I love being myself, I love to stand out, I don’t want to follow trends; I prefer to start my own trends; and do my own thing. That’s how I felt right from the day I was born, wanting to go through another way,”

he concluded.
