Or how about:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Lynde
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Sargent

I guess its OK to "out" them since they are deceased now -- doesn't 
matter what impact it might
have on their children or grandchildren? This is my point.

Or this one is a great one. Look at the disputed tag "Categorization of 
People"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Gay_actors

This is a far from NPOV in my culture as you can get. So where are the 
"Heterosexual Actors" category, or are they
in the group "if you have not been labeled with our POV labels, you are 
hetero".
