Naked Swiss man trapped in tanny brothel fire

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>A man stood naked, clung to a window ledge in full view of TV crews, photographers and fireman as he tried to flee a burning transsexual brothel in Basel, Switzerland. But he preferred to risk burning rather than reveal his face to the cameras watching the blaze below.</p><p>According to reports, the 33-year-old who works at a gay bar in Zurich said he was visiting a transsexual friend who works in the apartment and was not there to indulge in any unsavory transactions of the building&rsquo;s reputation.</p><p>The pair had been friends for 10 years and he spent the night after partying. He woke up to find the apartment on fire. That&rsquo;s when he fled to the window ledge, but refused to escape the blaze when he saw the media crew below. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m gay, but my family don&rsquo;t know about me so I couldn&rsquo;t show my face,&rdquo; he told the Blick newspaper. He only left after firefighters promised to let him over his face. &ldquo;I just hope my family can&rsquo;t tell who I am from my bottom,&rdquo; he added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
