No, really.
An new book, "The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power," reveals that Rove's stepfather pretended to be his father, then divorced his mother and lived the rest of his life as an openly gay man in Southern California, with longtime friend Joseph Koons, who had been openly gay for years and spoke to the authors in detail:
"In the book, Koons recounts how he and the elder Rove began to cruise the scene in Palm Springs, looking to make friends with older gay men, eventually forming a social club they dubbed the 'Old Farts Club.'
'The men met every Friday, usually at the Rainbow Cactus Restaurant or the Martinie Burger, to eat, drink, and socialize,' the book says.
[The authors] raise speculation as to whether the suicide of Rove's mother, Reba, may have been aggravated by shame she felt over Louis' homosexuality.
A man of almost startling intelligence, Rove is not likely to have ignored the possibility that his father's homosexuality might have figured in his mother choice to end her own life,' the authors write."

So is Karl's gay-baiting revenge on his gay/bisexual father for causing the suicide of his mother?
