No. 2679 Mon, Aug. 15, 2011 A daily e-mail bulletin of Czech wit & wisdom. For your free subscription, write to [email protected] Kikina exposed by gaydar There have been reports off and on in the Czech press for 20 years that Václav Klaus is homosexual, but never has the political significance been as great as now. How can Klaus be an opponent of a gay-pride march if, as the editor of a gay magazine claimed in Instinkt (and which iDnes picked up), he is himself gay? Jakub Starý said he has no proof but that "gaydar" tells him Klaus is homosexual. MFD didn't run the story in the print version but it did refer to Klaus today by his gay nickname, "Kikina." By opposing Prague Pride, Klaus seems hypocritical at the very least. Or worse, using the logic applied to Obama by Psychology Prof. Drew Westen, it might suggest that he hasn't resolved his own identity. Klaus's coyness might anger the gay community, but the question is whether it will alienate the far-right voters he's trying to attract. Probably not, unless gay lovers start coming forward.
