Broken Clock has long promoted the theory that all men are gay but their need for social conformity cause many like himself to live closeted lives, willing only to express themselves in prisons, and social settings where they have been drinking so "they have an excuse". Interestingly enough Broken Clock doesn't believe many women are lesbians because men are so attractive that it's simply not plausible for women not to also be just as attracted to men, as men are. Apparently even extreme right-wing Austrian politicians are gay, so Broken Clock's theory may have some validity. daylife.com Leader of Austria's extreme-right party, Jörg Haider, recently died in an auto accident after he had a fight with his press-spokesman and long-time partner, 28 year old Stefan Petzner. Haider had spent the remainder of the evening drinking at a gay club in Klagenfurt. Haider left with four times the legal alcohol limit and crashed his car into a object by the side of the road. Stefan Petzner, who succeeded the 53 year old Haider as the new leader of the Alliance for the Future of Austrian, tearfully explained he felt a 'magnetic attraction' for Haider, whom he met five years ago while working as a cosmetics correspondent for a newspaper, Petzner insisted: 'We had a relationship that went far beyond friendship. Jörg and I were connected by something truly special. He was the man of my life.' He said that Mr Haider’s main worry was that their relationship would not withstand the age gap. The news stunned Austria, which has been coming to terms with the death of the anti-immigrant politician. Mr Haider, who voted against a parliamentary motion to lower the age of consent for homosexuals, had presented himself as a family man who drank sparingly. The fact that Jörg Haider was gay — or at least bisexual — had been an open secret in Austria for years. It was something that political insiders knew but which did not generally appear in the press. Petzner insisted that Haider’s widow, Claudia did not object to his relationship: 'She loved him as a woman. He loved her as a man. I loved him in a completely different and personal way. She understood that.' But Petzner’s sister, Chrisitiane, 30, appeared to cast doubt on her brother’s story. In a newspaper interview she said: 'Sometimes Claudia was jealous because Stefan would spend more time with her husband than she did.' Clearly embarrassed by the revelations, officials at the Alliance for the Future of Austria, yesterday attempted to limit the political damage to the party by canceling forthcoming interviews with Petzner. However their attempts to prevent his radio interview being rebroadcast were turned down. The BZÖ has since forced Petzner to step down from his position as Haider's successor after revealing his relationship with Mr. Haider.
