Lovely link, Ronin. I think he wasn't the lover of Haider though, Just infatuated with him all these years.
I think Haider stuck with Gadaffi - he was his long-term homosexual relationship, and he mixed this with ever younger Slovakian boys for his quick fixes.


And no, not all gays of the hardright are closet homosexuals. Austrians usually are. Americans are too. Toe-tapping family men.
Why? Because of the social conservatism of their countries. Because of the schizophrenia this creates. One wonders whether many didn't turn into hardright conservative 'family men' because of their latent sexual preference in the first place.

Hence, French and Iberian homosexual rightwingers are usually...leftwingers. Socially more tolerant, less religious rigidity, more relaxed about human physicality, they can cope psychologically with their gayness and don't need to supress their inner demons by turning into hardright, obsessive 'family values' men. Psychologically, there is little problem, socially, the societies are not open enough to publically embrace homosexuality, so they choose leftwing progressiveness.

And of course, fully open societies like the Dutch have rightwingers who are openly gay, and who are popular amongst the extreme hardright because of it.
