caption_attribution_description: Bust of Antinous, from the Palazzo Altemps in Rome, Italy. I took this picture myself. The background has been recreated, and the edges have been cleaned up. In addition, the bust is moved left, and the very corner of the bust's shoulder is retouched in. This is a draft image. Note - you're welcome to retouch this image, but the 'halo' surrounding the entire bust was very unnatural. You're welcome to try again, for a more natural look... Thanks. -- RyanFreisling @ 01:03, 30 August 2005 (UTC) I was attempting to look at "diffs" and didn't realize that "rev" was a different function. At this diff, I explained my possible goof up.--GordonWattsDotCom 16:13, 2 September 2005 (UTC) Source: English Wikipedia, original see file history
context_page_description: This is a partial list of famous people who are confirmed to be gay, lesbian or bisexual. Famous people who are rumored to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, are not listed. The definition of sexual orientation varies and has changed over time; for example the word "gay" was not used to describe a person's sexual orientation until the mid 20th century. However, there has been a number of different words or slangs that have been used to describe sexual orientations since the mid-19th century. Several studies have found that much of the research about sexual orientation has failed to define the term at all, which made it difficult to find results of different studies. However, most definitions include a psychological component and/or a behavioral component. Some people prefer to simply follow their self-definition or identity.
  The high numbers of people from the West on this list may be due to societies attitudes toward homosexuality. The Pew Research Center's 2003 Global Attitudes Survey found that "[p]eople in Africa and the Middle East strongly object to societal acceptance of homosexuality.
