He's a fascist because he's an islamophobe.

It's so much easier for some closet cases to lash out at other openly gay people than to come to terms with their own gay tendencies. Homophobes need to take a good long look at themselves first and ask themselves what the issue REALLY is. Here we are again, yet another tragic example of Freud's Homophobia theory in motion.

That said, the man had Nazi sympathies, was a philanderer, liar and borderline pederast (I know, every one has different ideas about what is too young). Oh, that and he was a hypocrite and a deterrent to the very life style he secretly embraced. The only ones that should miss him should be the underage tricks he surrounded himself with. I hope that they got paid well. Who is it that said, "The only thing intolerable is intolerance."?

I do begin to wonder. We are all familiar with the unhappy story of Pim Fortuyn in the Netherlands, and the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant tone of some of the discourse within the "gay media" (including this website) suggest that parts of the LGBT community view immigration and immigrants as a threat to 'liberal' values. I hope I'm imagining this, but I do sense a growing hostility among some gay people to the very values of tolerance and diversity that we used to champion.

If it's being driven badly by someone who is drunk its safety features are almost worthless. He will be missed by may, but not in the way he'd have hoped!

I think it's particularly vile to be a member of one of the minority groups the nazi's persecuted and murdered and not to openly admit that, while openly praising the nazis for others reasons, and being openly racist. looks like we can add hypocrisy and self hatred to Haiders racism.
