There are lots of useless categories out there. Peoples disabilities, sexual orientation, their religion, as well as other trivial information is being used to categorize. We have a lot of underpopulated and useless categories out there
I quite agree. Pride is a fine thing, but I remain unconvinced that many people want a navigational aid to all the notable people who are or might have been gay / Jewish / Methylated Wesletarian / whatever; much more likely that they will go along thinking "I am gay / Jewish / Methylated Wesletarian / whatever, show me that lots of famous people were as well, to validate that". I'm also convinced that a lot of this categorisation is used to pursue an agenda.
