Okay, I'm believing Perez on this one because I can't read German, but it sounds like Siegfried and Roy officially came out of the closet to a German newspaper. Did you even realize they were in? Yes, like certain other public figures (who maybe have the initials JF) who everyone "knows" about, they simply ignored the question. But now they answered it!
Good for them. All of America loves the white tigers. I bet there were a ton of folks in the conservative Midwest who saw the show in Vegas and prayed for Roy's recovery after the tiger attack, even though he and Siegfried are so...colorful.
Maybe now some closed-minded people will have to say, hey, I liked those gay dudes before I knew they were gay, so maybe it's okay to be gay. Or maybe not. It didn't exactly work like that for the beloved Liberace. But it's a start.
I hope the boys are chosen to be the grand marshals for SF Gay Pride this year. We could use a little Vegas on Market Street.

My grandmother (who spent the last 2 years of her life wrapped up in the OJ Simpson trial) had a commemorative book about Liberace and furiously denied it when I told her he was gay.
She also had a few choice words about God's chosen people, and how the Poles were the real victims of the Holocaust.
Her kind has mostly died out now, I think, except in little pockets we call the red states.
