"Who the hell is this ""AVM"" person who says the following: ""homos seem to pursue the inclusion of notable personalities and celebrities from the world of art and culture into their ranks, true or not, just to gain prestige.""  First of all AVM, would you use the terms ""niggers"" and ""kikes"" to describe African-Americans or Jews in a similar context?  Second, Arrau's homosexuality, like Richter's and Horowitz's, was an open secret in the music world.  Like many if not most gay men of his generation, Arrau married and became a father.  Now, fair warning: I am about to violate the rule against personal attacks here, but bigotry is bigotry and should be denounced.  AVM, you are a consummate ass!
