I have removed the Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people tag from this article. The article only maintains that Yusipov was allegedly homosexual. This tag should only be added to individuals who were indisputedly homosexual. If someone has notations, then fine, but I don't think it should be added until then.

IMO, there's not the slightest doubt that he was bisexual. All historicians pretty much agree on this, as do people who met him, and he pretty much said as much in his autobiography. Admittingly he was a big liar and I would take everything he says with a great take of salt, because he liked to invent stories just to shock people, but his "gay times" (his own words) with Great Duke Dimitri are pretty much confirmed. You don't even have to read between the lines. It really springs out of the text. And he was caught wearing his mother's dresses, so even if one might doubt the bisexual part (which like I said is not really to be doubted at all) the cross-dressing thing definitely is true.
