· 5 pulledI am shocked.
The Atlantis cruise I am performing on next week has been banned from entering Turkey.
A ship — a magnificent ship full of gay men. And me. Denied entry to Turkey simply because of who is on board.
I am furious, but I am sailing.
I am ready to perform for all the wonderful men on this Atlantis cruise, who deserve so much better than this.
