You know, I'm gay. I'm a leftist. I came to be a leftist for reasons wholly separate from my sexuality.But for a moment, let's celebrate that there are places in this world -- places like Germany -- where a gay man can be a fiscal conservative, a proponent of removing nuclear missiles from German soil, and a supporter of the war in Afghanistan. I may disagree with him, but the fact that he exists routinely, normally, that his sexuality merits no comment...that's downright liberal.Also, he's kinda cute. In a slightly-older, German Harvey Dent kinda way.
