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.

His secrets lead to his downfall, and now Paul has to learn how to deal with his new life. (A/N- I've only been to Liverpool once so sorry if some of these things are incorrect, however most of the aspects of this story are supposed to be different to what actually happened.)Complete

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.
