Starr was described as "one of the earliest homosexual wrestlers" and in various LGBT categories, based on this source (http://www.wrestlingepicenter.com/RIP/RickiStarr.html). The source only refers to his portrayal as a wrestler and says nothing about his orientation in real-life. Going by the source alone, he's no more LGBTQ+ than Dustin Rhodes, Adrian Adonis, Adrian Street, or other heterosexual males who played gay gimmicks whether ambiguous or otherwise. I'll be open to him being re-added to these categories with more specific sourcing but I've also seen sourcing that contradicts the idea of him being LGBTQ+ entirely, so until a consensus is actually reached I've removed it entirely.
