The Advocate magazine today became the first established publication officially to out Luther Vandross, who died in July. (At least that's the first time I've seen it.) An article on the magazine's website today described Luther Vandross as a "gay artist."[/color]

I think the magazine was wrong. I don't know whether Luther was gay or not but he kept his personal business separate from his music career for his own reasons and it's wrong to put him out there like that when the man can't speak for himself.
Personally, I respected LV more because he didn't make his personal life a public issue. He was a singer, not a politician whose decisions affected others, so the postumous "outing" still makes no sense IMO.
