"I thought Albert Jr. was trying not to appear like a flaming poofter - unsuccessfully, I might add."
You have a point. Remember "the kiss" at the Rat convention and the truly nauseating cover photo (plus press hype) on Rolling Stone? They were two over-the-top PR efforts to counter algore's less-than-masculine body language and speech.
Having watched Algor's behavior for years -- and especially his physical movements -- trying to throw and run and walk like a male [He absolutely can not!] -- I will bet London to a brick that he is a flaming fruit and as camp as a row of tents! The guy's dead set a poofter!
[It's no wonder his loathesome and fearsome theatrical-prop "spouse" is a certifiable bloody nut case!]
