another one bites the dust...

Jorg Haider. GAY. Turns out that the drunk part of his drunk-driving crash was acquired at a gay bar. And that the young hottie he turned the party over to was his lover. According to The Guardian ("Leader says Haider was his lover"):

The successor to the Austrian rightwing populist Jörg Haider, Stefan Petzner, has shocked the staunchly conservative country by revealing in a tearful interview that they shared a "special relationship".

Petzner, 27, who was confirmed yesterday as the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZO) after Haider's death in a car crash two weeks ago, made the admission on Austrian radio, effectively confirming long-standing rumours that he and Haider were lovers.

Attempts by the party to stop repeats of the broadcast failed after the state broadcaster ORF insisted it would not be gagged.

See the Guardian for more details on their relationship. Why do the closet cases always act out so hatefully? It's sad.
