And yet lots of women were enchanted by Liberace, he had a strange hold over many of them.

It's the Gay Superstar paradox. Loads of obviously flaming guys have tons of women fans drooling after them. See also: Ricky Martin, Clay Aiken, George Michael I guess, probably that Adam Lambert guy, maybe Elton John when he was younger.

I've heard people say that the women who worked at the Liberace museum before it closed still thought it was sad that he never met the right woman. These women who had loved him when they were younger and were now old women still believed that he was straight, despite the fact that they WORKED in the Liberace Museum.
I mean how could anyone who owned this car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Liberace_Bradley_GT.jpg be gay? That is a straight up Pussy Wagon am I right?

The key to the paradox is his intense Catholicism. He believed homosexuality was a sin, but the accoutrements of homosexuality were not.

I never knew it was supposed to be hyphenated!
