(Belgium) - An apparent slip of the editor's mouse is to blame for Turkish hero/legend/diety Kemal Atatürk's winding up listed as 'a famous gay or bisexual person' in a new Belgian textbook. The Turks are unamused. The Belgian government didn't print the book, but that's not stopping a mad diplomatic scramble to assuage Turkish hurt feelings. So far, no one has dared wonder whether the dust-up is of the protesteth-too-much variety... well, not aloud anyway.
