Unfortunately he got shot to death right before elections in 2002. Fortuyn's party (which he started) was gaining popular support, and some left-wing nutto felt the need to off him. Sheesh. (I didn't share Fortuyn's views on immigration et al, but he certainly had the right to express them without fearing for his life.)<BR/><BR/>It's quite wonderful, after growing up in the US, to live in a society where being gay is like having brown hair: some people are, some aren't, big deal.Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897034101658415496noreply@blogger.com
