He confessed that he was a gay German.

The mute possibly autistic piano genius is actually, just, you know, some guy. Why "gay German" is important, I don't know. Are Teutonic homosexuals often mute and pianistic? And of course it turns out this guy wasn't really a piano player after all.

Well, it's the Daily Mirror, a British tabloid, and in the world of British tabloids, homosexuality is considered morally suspect. Not in the y'all-burn-in-Hell Jerry Falwell way, but in a curtain-twitching bourgeois British those-ponces-are-all-up-themselves-something's-not-right-about-them sense.

Ah, I think I get it. Now, even more than ever, I want to go to England just so I can wander about yelling "I AM A GAY GERMAN!" although I am neither.
