Isn't using the word "gay" in the introduction sentence like this a bit strange? One could even argue that it should not be mentioned unless it relates to something of interest to his actions or career.

I'd like to suggest someone removes it, or rewrites it to be relevent in the context of the article. Walden 16:56, 2004 Aug 13 (UTC)

Word removed. There's now a "gay" category link at the bottom. Walden 20:02, 2004 Aug 13 (UTC)

[edit] Wasn't his last video "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" by Britney Spears????

...because it says that he directed "My All" (1998) shortly before his death, but if he directed the Britney video, then that one was closest to his death than the other (2001-2).

If he did not die from an AIDS-related illness, then what was it. The German wp article mentions that "he died as a result of the infection." (Er starb am 26. Dezember 2002 in Los Angeles den Folgen der Infektion). The part of this article related to his death is ambiguous at best, and false at worst. GilliamJF 08:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
