Just googled it

Turns out he is actually called Ridley Danger Lampard. Not quite the same ring to it. I chose John smith as a generic because I couldn't remember the real name.

Chess GM's are not yet as popular as showbiz and political celebrities. So nobody really cares if some are gay.

Don't get why it matters either.  As far as chess goes it probably wouldn't help make them a stronger player or anythin, bisexuals might have a slight edge but I don't know.

I can see a gay chess olympiad with a poster saying:

We want you!

We want you!

We want you!

In the Navy crew!

[ and if you are too much of a youngster to understand this deep cultural reference then please watch "In the Navy" by The Village People on youtube. ]

I don't know, but I sure get accused of it a lot after winning a live game.

100% of the population is gay; most of them just haven't found the right person yet for mutually happy gayness.

You know how they came up with the title for the movie "300"?

"On a scale of 1-10, how gay is this movie?"

Homosexuality is an aberration fo Nature. The process of thinking in chess do not implies anything against Nature. .. so truly, I repeat truly, chess players should not tend towards homosexuality.

Another thing. Homosexuality has a better environtment in "cranky" media, something to which chess does not belong.

But as Don Quixote said: ·you might find anything in God´s garden"
