Gay pop star George Michael and his boyfriend-of-10-years, Kenny Goss, have put their wedding plans on hold, according to the UK tabloid The Daily Mail. The British star was recently caught after an alleged sexual encounter in a London park with a stranger, who was described by the paper as a 58-year-old “pot-bellied, jobless van driver.”

Some three months ago, Michael who is believed to be worth £50 million (US$92 million), told a British television chat show host about his plans to 'wed' Goss. "I think that we will formalise it definitely from a legal point of view.
"It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 per cent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.
"We'll probably do it on our 10th anniversary. We'll probably do the formal legal thing then the party.”
The Daily Mail reported that the wedding might now be off, quoting a source close to Michael: "They are reassessing their relationship at the moment so there are no immediate plans. Things are very much up in the air. They do not feel that the wedding is relevant now."
The 43-year-old has insisted in the past that he and Goss, 48, have an open relationship, saying: "Gay relationships are a bit different. I'm sure we'll be allowed to roam if we want to. But we love each other dearly.”
Michael was forced to come out in 1998 after Californian police arrested him for lewd conduct in a public restroom.
In Britain, sex in public is illegal if it is likely to be witnessed by a third party, however, a police spokesman revealed they are not planning on investigating Michael as he was not caught by an officer and no complaint had been made.
Michael is scheduled to embark on a 47-date comeback tour this September, his first European tour in 15 years.

To other gay boys out there don't fall nto the trap of basing your realationship on what hetrosexuals do in public. Just remeber what hetrosexual couples do in private, now that's a lot more like out gay life we are just far more honest about it.
its love
Why dun he just said, like staight couple, after fucking the same person for ten years, it is fine to go to night club, hookers, mistress and casual fling with co workers and make sure the wife or husband doesn't know about it? Different my arse. Same! Just selfish as everyone else. Cheating and the need to have more sexual partner once u r so called in love is an act of selfishness. Unwilling to let go of inner desire for someone we love is an act of selfish which apply to all.
I hope I clear that up. Am I selfish? Of course I am to certain extend (hello I am only human) but I wish I can learn to be less selfish in love as I grow older and wiser. :)
Well, promiscuity is a disease. It has Nothing to do with love. One's boyfriend or partner may be a hunk but if one is caught up and used to the thrill of passing excitement, cheating will happen.
Cheating is not exclusive to gay men. Judgement aside, ALL men cheat because they can and because they are men, not because they are gay. The sooner one recognises, accept, deal and adapt around it, the better. Otherwise, the obvious option is staying single and continue to be someone's elses bedtime story...:)~~
Cheating on a much deeper level is almost always about loneliness. You can be partnered or married but still feel lonely. Being alone is not the same as being lonely. That however does not mean being happily partnered will remove possibilities of wandering.
Being and staying faithful to the one you love takes real CONSCIOUS commitment and effort and also depends on the value and belief system one subscribes to. If you believe an open relationship is ok, then well, that works for you. If you feel that a, "dun ask dun tell" approach works, hey, that's fine too. Bottom line, whatever works for both of you to stay on Top, but keep it REAL..;P
Peace!
