Austrian far right politician Jörg Haider, who was killed last weekend when the VW Phaeton he was driving burned after crashing into a concrete barrier, was last seen at a gay nightclub called the Stadtkraemer, where he had apparently gone following a party for right wing leaders, the Daily Mail reports:
“The Stadtkraemer – which translates to The City Shopkeeper – is a well known haunt for the Klagenfurt gay community and advertises itself on the Internet with the slogan: ‘Whether old or young, lesbian or gay, the restaurant is always cool.' A fellow diner offered to drive Haider home because he looked the worse for wear, but the 58-year-old governor of the state of Carinthia turned him down. Haider headed for the notorious gay establishment after his appearance at a night club, the public prosecutor in Klagenfurt confirmed. He arrived at a quarter past midnight on Saturday morning, left thirty minutes later and was dead within half-an-hour. Despite being married with two daughters, Haider was ‘outed' years ago by the Austrian and German press for being homosexual.”
