{{editsemiprotected}} Please add the popular British musician Patrick Wolf to this list, as he is bisexual. If you go to the Wikipedia page on him, there is some well-sourced information about his sexuality under the "Personal Life" section.

​ Can we remove Ethel Waters from this list? The sources given (and all of those that I can find) mention that she was suspected to have had an affair with a woman, but do not confirm or source these suspicions. Thus she is not a confirmed non-hetrosexual and should not be on this list. 50.71.179.187 (talk) 14:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Not done - See here.[1] It clearly states "Although she was not as open as Rainey about her same-sex relationships, Waters had at least one quite public affair with a dancer named Ethel Williams..." ObtundTalk 03:04, 20 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

<==begin request==> Please remove Leonardo da Vinci from the list as there was no writings by him stating anything about a romantic interest. the entire notion of his homosexuality is based on a single accusation from a male prostitute. of which the charges of sodomy against da Vinci were dismissed. There was never any conformation. [1] E.D.Bekkr (talk) 00:59, 22 October 2013 (UTC) <==end request==>Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: W–Z. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
