Putin Gay Update- Other People Are Noticing Now!

There's a joke going round this week:
People seem shocked that

1. Nelson Mandela died aged 95.
2. Tom Daley is gay.
3. England probably won't win the World Cup.

I'm thinking of becoming a fortune teller.
If anything Vladimir Putin's sexuality is more obvious than Tom Daley's was, but a biographer of the Russian president has noticed what I pointed out several years ago:
Author Stanislav Belkovsky claims Putin’s macho man image is a PR invention and his alleged affair with the gymnast Alina Kabaeva was made up.
In the book, Putin, Belkovsky adds: “Sex and a sex life to him are alien.”
He also speculates that Putin, famed for his topless wilderness shots, is “latently gay”.
I wouldn't go on about it, except for the obvious links with his anti-gay policies.

Latently gay eh? Gosh, I'll have to check if I've gone that way.

"latently" understates his gayness more than a little, methinks.

How about a picture of him being gay, like the one where he does his Norman Wisdom "oooh" face when those Femen lasses flashed their boobs at him?

It is Xmas after all.
