 * I have a better idea. how about we find a reliable source that states he's gay? im a little tired of people being in that category without a reference. The problem i have with the above request is that we really should not be discussing HIV status before a reliable source is simply put in an article. then we can decide if the reliable source is truly reliable, and whether the persons hiv status is relevant or notable. otherwise its pure speculation and potentially libelous, though less so for deceased individuals.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * if glbtq.com is a reliable source, then we have a reference. personally, i want more before i add material.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

I doubt that I personally qualify as a "reliable source," but I'm surely not the only person alive who recalls that James Kirkwood, Jr. was an out gay man in his lifetime and that his cause of death in 1989 was reported as AIDS at the time he died. Kirkwood is among those memorialized with an AIDS Quilt panel (more info here: http://www.aidsquilt.org/quiltfacts.htm). Of course that doesn't speak to his sexual orientation, but it certainly suggests that he was HIV-positive and died of complications of AIDS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beldujour (talk • contribs) 07:05, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
