Not sure if NVG is the appropriate thread for this, but since it has tangential poker content I didn't figure it belonged in OOT.
Hi everyone: My wife and I were talking tonight, and she came up with a question for me (she's not really a poker player, but watches the big TV tournaments and knows most of the big names) that I had no idea of the answer to, and I figured that I'd throw it out to all of you. Are there any big time poker pros you know of out there that have come out of the closet and are openly gay and/or bisexual (male or female)? And if not, what do you think the attitude of most of the poker "community" would be towards one of the "big names" coming out? Would it be a positive, live-and-let-live type of reaction, or do you think it would be negative, like, say, if an NFL superstar came out? I'm curious to know people's thoughts on this. --Scott |

I don't know, Mel Judah used to be a hairdresser, though.

Friedman and Andrew Black from the WSOP episodes seem like they might be playing for the other team. But you said big names.

I don't know who Friedman is? Do you mean Prahlad?
Negreanu (sp?) is married and bangs some hot asian broad Black did seem a little queer but he's a buddhist and spent time in a monastary so I'm sure he is just basically asexual. One that always struck me as gay, especially in his mannerisms was Layne Flack. |

[/ QUOTE ] He doesn't come across gay, but he was a top hairdresser, and I thoght they all were. I don't if there are any openly gay well known players, but there are rumored to be gay players. |
