Talk:Henry-Russell Hitchcock

Gay?
Hitchcock's friends and colleagues were all aware that he was gay; is there a published reference that confirms this fact? Sullivanesque (talk) 00:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I added information that Hitchcock was gay to the article but it was subsequently deleted by SatyrTN.Kentucknob (talk) 03:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Kentucknob! Wikipedia relies on verifiable information.  As such, any "controversial" facts (and sexual orientation is still considered controversial) have to be backed up by references.  If it was widely known, surely someone put it in print someplace?  Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 05:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

OK -- confirmed from book by Shand-Tucci published in 2003.

To mention his sexual preference and considering that "controversial" is only a sexist and homophobic attitude. The non-gay characters in Wikipedia don't get a line saying "he was heterosexual, one of the many straight men educated at Harvard". It's absolutely irrelevant in H-R H's bio.
