The article has had this text for a while:

He is out as gay.

An anonymous user added this:

Which is about as relevant to this article as whether or not he wears spectacles or is left-handed.

I snipped both sentences; the latter comment doesn't belong in the body of the article, but on reflection I agree that the first sentence is of questionable relevance. If Wells were active in the gay rights movement it would certainly be relevant, but as it is, I'm not sure. I won't object if anyone else wants to add it back in. --Jim Henry | Talk 28 June 2005 19:12 (UTC)
