Why is there a gay, lesbian, or bisexual people link at the bottom here? Just wondering.

• He's openly gay. Or, at least, was open about it. (More discussion here.) tregoweth 00:39, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
• You can always refer back to this... [1] LaVieEntiere (talk) 05:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that Diller has been positively quoted as affirming that he is either gay or bisexual, and as such, I don't think that he can be classified as being "out" as either one. The CNN story could be incorrect and does not cite a source, so I don't think that it alone can qualify as proof. The New York magazine article seems to be based on speculation and gossip, not proven fact. There isn't even agreement among those who think that he's gay or bisexual as to which of those he might be, so I certainly don't think you could classify him as out.

Dates don't add (i think): Paramount CEO '72 and says for next 10 years..with associated properties/shows though '84. However, 72+10=82. It then picks up with at Fox in '84. Was there a gap of employ from 82-84? Should it read dozen/12, instead of 10? Should he receive credit for films, '82-'84? I don't know.

[edit] Birth place

Anybody have a definitive answer? Most of the webpages I found say San Francisco, at least one says Beverly Hills, and this article lists both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.112.11.10 (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
