2 issues: nothing is sited here, and it is ambiguous what "partner" means in this context: they are clearly writing partners but are they also acknowledged intimate partners? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.142.225 (talk) 01:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Straight?

He is so over-the-top as Dean Ubergay, is there any chance he's actually straight in real life?

Instagram post

I am very concerned about using the Instagram post to verify the actor's sexual orientation. I tried finding other sources, including ones discussing the post itself, without avail. I removed the info, but then someone using an IP address reinserted it. I invited others for intervention, but no luck either. What can be done about the info? George Ho (talk) 03:11, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

I've removed it. The source is not acceptable. Rash doesn't describe himself as "gay" (for instance, he could be bi or pan) so we can't describe him as such. I can't find any other sources about his sexual orientation so we shouldn't mention it. — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 12:20, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

@Rburton66: I don't know why you reinserted the info and used the Instagram post as a source. The Instagram is still unreliable and shall not be used. George Ho (talk) 05:06, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

The Instagram post is definitely not enough in and of itself. It certainly verifies that he's somewhere in the LGBT family — and I strongly doubt that anybody who's familiar with him was actually surprised by that — but Bilorv is right, it completely fails to clarify whether he identifies as gay, bisexual, pansexual or queer. So yes, we need a better source than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:04, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Hollywoodmask.com article

The article from hollywoodmask.com cites Instagram post, which has been deemed unreliable and vague (see above section). Honestly, I thought it appears gossipy and sensational without value. --George Ho (talk) 22:42, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

I think the Instagram post itself can be used, carefully, to say he came out as a member of the LGBTQ community. He certainly didn’t write that he is gay or homosexual. Glee 22:54, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Please read WP:OR and WP:BLPCAT. No reliable secondary sources verify significance of his sexuality and belonging to the community AFAIK. --George Ho (talk) 23:36, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

A person is considered an expert on themselves, he would know if he came out or not. Glee 00:04, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

The official page of a subject may be used as a self-published, primary source. Glee 00:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

I don't think his Instagram post adheres to WP:BLPSELFPUB. Do you? George Ho (talk) 00:47, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

I do, how do you think it doesn’t? Glee 01:07, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

What about the Instagram post's authenticity? I have reasonable doubts about it, like its vagueness, language that may invite implicitness and rushed interpretations from others, and the possibility that the post can be deleted at any time. Furthermore, he didn't indicate whether he belongs to the community. He did mention "National Coming Out Day", but he also mentioned his mustache at that time.

agenda

Stop reverting simple articles about how someone defines themselves. You quite possibly could or are doing this with anyone that is not heterosexual. STOP. Howdoesitgo1 (talk) 02:04, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

We have to get the sourcing right. Glee 02:09, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
