Default Openly Gay Big Names in Poker??

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.
