The 1960's: a time notable for its racism, sexism, and change. However, homosexuality was off limits, seen as unanimously unethical and abnormal by the general population.
That was until 1966, when people began to acknowledge the existence of this, at the time, wildly outrageous topic. Who was there to thank? Of course, none other than Beatle Paul McCartney, the first mainstream celebrity to proclaim their homosexuality openly to the media.
The world would never be the same.

Things seem to be looking up for teenager Paul McCartney in the summer of 1955, up until his mother falls seriously ill.

His secrets lead to his downfall, and now Paul has to learn how to deal with his new life.

Now and Then- 𝓂𝒸𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓃
On December ninth, 2030, Paul McCartney was found dead in his home. And how coincidental it was that he passed on the morning after the fiftieth anniversary of John Lennon's death. Having been the final remaining Beatle, and having not outlived Yoko Ono, Paul took initiative and filmed a final, grand statement to be released upon his death. He spoke about everything: starting with that fated summer in '57 at the festival in Woolton, and about all throughout his life and career as a rock legend. He would also revisit and refine his previous statements about John Lennon, who he sites as his sole muse for this documentary, finally unveiling the true nature of their complicated relationship and rumored love affair that had been continually denied, until now. He even spoke, at last, about what truly happened during the band's trip to India in 1968: the trip that undeniably changed the chemistry between the Beatles forever, especially between himself and Lennon. Because there were many things that Sir James Paul McCartney had not spoken truthfully of: both now, and then.

Is it too late?
After the Beatles had a succesful performance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1963, they became instantly famous in America. Ringo Starr is very excited about this and about the concert they were about to give. He also started to accept his feelings for his best bud George. But he didn't know that after he left his hotel room to go to the concert he would not return to it again. - this story is not really accurate with time and all - my first story, so if you have ideas comment them Achievements - #9 in starrison - #9 in mclennonComplete
first question... ~ Paul McCartney (1st book)

At first she was completely uninterested but when she finally met him, her life was changed forever. (1963-1966) *pay attention to the dates on each chapter as they can change suddenly*Complete
