Thanks for the links. Amazing. So WHY did he enlist? Didn’t the Tarot tell him it was dangerous? Perhaps that was the reason — dangerous in a compelling way? (”Hurt me, please.”) Who can figure out such twisted minds?
I have to say, however, that I lived in San Francisco for ten years and know for a fact that not all male ballet dancers are gay. Baryshnikov has three children, Peter Martins of the NY City ballet has two.
