I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accommodation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a point about gilbert and george?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'point' could be 'n' (N is an example) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
