Deleted line

The line "He keeps the details of his personal life cryptic, media stories debating his sexuality or drug use are usually ignored." has been deleted twice already. If there is no explaination for the reason to do so, I'm putting it back. -- LGagnon 23:51, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Bisexual?

I've noticed that the article is tagged under the "Bisexual writers from the United States" category. However, the only relationship discussed in the article is a relationship with a man. Where has Ellis ever said he was bisexual? That should be placed in the article. --MgCupcake (talk) 05:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some sources to his bisexuality. Whoever changed the page to say he was a gay writer really should've done some googling first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.13.151.158 (talk) 18:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. He even wrote about this in his memoirs white and shards, and said so in interviews. 100.34.234.175 (talk) 10:37, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
