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.

Now and Then- 𝓂𝒸𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓃 by Kamiiruec

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.

Roses Are Red by Crashing_a_Jeep

George ran a hand through his hair in distress as she walked away from him, her head held high. "What do I have to do to make you admit you love me?" George's voice cracked as he called out to her. Samantha stopped in her tracks and froze for a moment. Then, she turned on her heel. Her face was set in a hard scowl. Her anger at him had only grown from his sudden and unexpected comment. "Is that what you want me to say? You want me to admit it?" "For Christ's sake yes!" George exclaimed. "Fine!" She threw her hands up into the air in exasperation. "You win, George!" Samantha laughed incredulously. "I've always loved you-you -you goddamn idiot." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samantha Clarke moved from America to Liverpool in 1956 at fourteen years old and met four lads who were destined to become one of the most famous bands in history. George Harrison bumped into his friend Paul and a random redhead girl on his walk home from school on a cloudy day in 1957. For both of them, there was a long and winding road ahead. "Roses are red, my love Violets are blue Sugar is sweet, my love But not as sweet as you" Updates Every Sunday | I DO NOT OWN THE BEATLES|

In My Life by macca4ever

It's 1988. Paul McCartney is being interviewed for the David Frost show, about a rather controversial topic. Once home, he discovers the few simple questions stirred up a rather complicated element of his past. Disclaimer: No libel intended. I do not own the Beatles - just their records and some memorabilia. This story is fiction. Real life events are included, but I do not claim anything happened the way it's described in this fic. All of this was thought up by my over-active imagination. Warning: No explicit sex, but a lot of angst and one instance of violence. Should be suitable for teens and up. Read at your own discretion. A/N Please let me know what your opinion is. I enjoy a pat on the back, but I also value thoughtful criticism. Please just bear in mind that I'm a human being with feelings, so don't be too harsh. P.S. English is not my native language.

A day in the life by Raccon-named-steve

Paul McCartney was a shy lad, he never really went outside of his bubble. He didn't have very many friends as it has always been him and his best friend George. Of course that was until that fateful day when Paul met someone that would change his life forever. (This is my first ever story so please don't hate on me) TW- abuse, suicide mentions ⚠️ #14 in McLennon - 13/01/2022 #14 in Johnlennon - 14/01/2022 #1 in Starrison - 24/01/2022

Is it too late? by Ringo_the_walrus

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 mclennon
