There's no press out there calling me gay, but if something like this happened in close enough proximity to me that I was asked for a quote they could still call me "an openly gay something something...", the lack of citation doesn't mean it's incorrect, it's more likely to mean he told them that.
I mostly meant that the initial information on this had been copy-pasted across several sites (I've seen it four different places before it was even posted here) and I was trying to spot check information. I didn't mean to doubt the actual facts or anything, just a mini-snopes.
