Well, for all *practical* purposes that is pretty close to reality. 
Oxford is like it is, and having one's boyfriend 1,500 km away also 
helps. :-)

I certainly hope so.

This of course also brings up the interesting question whether the 
famous gay intellectuals were 1) noticed to be gay because they were 
famous, 2) had more time to become famous because of less family. If 2 
is true, then we should see an even more asexuals being famous 
intellectuals.

Thanks, everyone!
