Erasure star Andy Bell claims he turned down sex with an alien because he’s gay. Yes, really

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/01/02/erasure-andy-bell-aliens-sex-daily-star-ufo-gay/

"The 55-year-old explained that 1,000 spaceships and flying angels descended from the skies above in March last year and offered him the chance to have a sexual encounter with an alien with “one tentacle”, the Daily Star reported. "
