Leaks from a new biography, The Queen Up Close, appeared in El Pais
yesterday and are already causing controversy, especially among gay
rights groups, who seemed to like her better with her lips closed.
"I can understand, accept and respect that there are people of other
sexual tendencies, but should they be proud to be gay? Should they
ride on a parade float and come out in protests? If all of those of us
who aren't gay came out to protest we would halt traffic," she said in
the book, written by Spanish journalist Pilar Urbano.
