Joerg Haider came out as gay?! Okay, that's it. We should get to make trades now, like in sports. - Montréalais

Only rumours about Jörg Haider. Therefore I remove his name. 213.23.20.54 04:15, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This is an asinine article. I don't disagree with the gay part of his bio, but that's all there is to the article. I'm sure he has other accomplishments.

Sadly his accomplishments are basically to be less idiotic than other German politicians, which comes down to not being a Commie. He's definitely no Rathenau.

hello mr. mccarthy! i thought you were dead?

[edit] JD vs Dr iur

I changed Mr Westerwelle's title from JD to Dr. iur., because a JD is a professional degree (mostly in the US), whereas Dr. iur. is the academic degree in Germany in law, which requires research and a thesis. The one is thus no translation of the other. Blur4760 15:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexuality

I changed the sentece that stated that "In the last years Westerwelle won the discussion over his sexual orientation in the FDP.". First of all, I personally dislike the expression "to win a discussion". Secondly, I don't think there was an actual discussion on his sexuality, i.e. neither did the party discuss whether he is homosexual, nor did they discuss whether he should "change" his sexuality. At the best, it was a point of concern for some. I hope that is okay with GLGerman. Blur4760 17:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC) Yes that s ok, Blur4760, --GLGerman 20:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)GLGerman

[edit] Infobox

I added the Poltician (Alternative) Infobox. Please expand it if you have any further information. Poeloq 19:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
