Discussion of sexual orientation in the lede
I have no idea how to edit these pages, however I just wanted to point out the sentence in the lede "He is openly gay" is not a neutral point of view. "Openly" suggests an admission. "He is gay" would be better, and yet I am still not convinced that is WikiWorthy. What is notable about him is that he galvanised many in the gay community to take pride in who they are. I understand that is unsourced and therefore not usable. But the word "openly" should not be in this article as it suggests that homosexuality is something that should normally be hidden. I don't even know where the tilde key is on a Mac, before someone tells me to sign my posts! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.60.78 (talk) 00:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * In the citation is the phrase: "Samwell: Noted for being an openly gay R&B artist and Internet sensation." When I originally edited the article awhile back, I did not include the word "openly." It was added by a subsequent editor and I saw no reason to omit the phrase, and this conviction has grown greater since I updated the source and found that exact phraseology in it. I also don't know if I agree with the implication of the word "open" - I don't think it suggests that homosexuality should be hidden, only that homosexuality is often hidden. I don't think calling someone openly gay supports the idea that gays should hide their identity, but rather supports the celebration of one's identity. But if I'm wrong, please let me know and I will be amenable to removing the edit. Quetzapretzel (talk) 14:17, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Even worse, there's no proof he actually is gay-- openly or otherwise. Given this is a biography of a living person, I suggest this potentially libelous information about him being gay be removed immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.54.140 (talk) 12:23, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Article is a joke. For starters, it mentions a song/video, without anywhere saying when/how said song/video was released!? Someone fix this, as in this form this is utterly useless. Naki (talk) 21:34, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
