But his remarks on "becoming Jewish" suggest to me that it's a slim possibility at best. One thing we can definitely say about Redner - he's not afraid to take a stand. That, to my mind, makes it even less likely he would have been in the closet at all. Michael, there’s certainly that possibility.

There is a distinction between apparent sexuality (what the individual wants to reveal to the outside world) and actual sexuality, which probably never ever changes within a person. I am aware of many men who have married more than once, had several children, but have known about their gay side since pubity. Paradoxically, some of them register 4 or 5 on the Kinsey Scale (more homosexual than heterosexual). There is none so queer as folks!
