Hm. So he was “found dead” or “family was at his side” when he died? Seems like it can’t be both.

When I was in jr high school I had a Sassoon haircut when they first came out. It was very avant garde. Probably the only time in my life I was “fashion forward” - very few other girls had them. And I did get a lot of attention.

It’s more than reasonable to assume that ANY guy who is a hair stylist, you might say, “bats for the other team”.

But this guy fought in the war for Israel’s independence (and survival) - sorry but he gets high marks in my book, and he’s likely not a queer.
