 :::I got your note and having read a bunch of articles where his sexuality WAS mentioned, and since he is now dead, the standard for what we say about him on wikipedia is somewhat different than it would be for a living person.  I recognise that he worked in an area of the world where sexuality and LGBT issues aren't often discussed.  However,  the question we editors should ask, discuss and think about is whether or not future readers of the English Language article here should KNOW about how he chose to self-identify.  It seems he wanted to self-identify as not merely ""gay"" but Transgendered.  There is a project for that and perhaps they should be brought into the discussion.  I am open to all views.  I would like to see a photo that represented Gosh as he was shortly before he died since he went to great lengths to alter his appearance.  It would be like Lana Wachowski dying and no mention of her as Lana or [hotos of her looking like Lana,  and only the name Larry being used along with photos of Lana before her sugeries.  That may not be a perfect comparison because Lana Wachowski's transition from man to woman wasn't analogous nor a lifelong issue, but still - in the end, isn't it how the person self-identified that matters, even if they had to be somewhat circumspect about it, as stated in this article here  ?   I'll just read and listen for a while.   "
