Perhaps it took his first visit to a Gay club and someone like Dolly to cause him to let his mask slip and consequently emerge from the closet.

I can imagine just how really difficult it must have been for him to have been 'trapped' in that circle of low-brow bigots with their 'macho' and homophobic B.S., when he was secretly gay.

You would be amazed at the 'not-so-secret' thoughts of many 'straight' guys when they come into contact with many transgenders - as in 'FunnyGirls' in Blackpool, or just an evening in the 'Village' in Manchester. That's what keeps them returning.
