Talk:Gene Anthony Ray

HIV
What is the evidence that his death was "AIDS-related" and not simply the result of his having suffered a stroke, which is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.? If a person diagnosed "HIV-positive" dies in a traffic accident, will you also put their article in the category "AIDS-related deaths" whatever the actual cause of death, just because of the "HIV-positive" diagnosis? 213.37.6.106 18:30, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Over sensitivity like yours actually *promotes* stigma associated with HIV, as though complications related to it must be brushed under the carpet and attributed to something "normal" people get / have. The fact is, how ever Ray acquired HIV, he did have it, and HIV is *well known* to bee the root cause of many "complications" that lead to death. Ray had HIV. His HIV lead to a decline in his health. Part of that decline was a stroke. The stroke lead to his death. Get off your high horse. 76.22.32.86 (talk) 18:27, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The source given does not state that Ray's death was related to his having HIV. We present facts that can be verified by reliable sources, not personal conjecture about someone's health.  Pinkadelica ♣  19:21, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Long biog in Queerty for World Aids Day 2015
For World AIDS Day 2015, Queerty has run a long biography of Gene Anthony Ray, that would definitely be a good source for expanding this article:



I'm unlikely to have a chance to work on it particularly soon, but perhaps someone else might do? — OwenBlacker (Talk) 20:44, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Axed from Fame?
The article links to a Telegraph obit that claimed he was sacked from ‘Fame’ in 1984 but IMDb lists him as continuing in the series until its end in 1987? Fosterpann (talk) 18:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
