There has long been speculation that Dan Rutherford, a nice guy that I halfway know, is more than a little “light in the loafers.” He was cornered in an interview several years back by Fran Eaton, editor of Illinois Review, and asked flat out if he was gay. He unequivocably denied it. No reason to lie about it, a lot of IL pols are out on the dark side.
hmm, he seems to want to play it both ways, alas....
