Yes, that's odd really. Perhaps that's something the 'equality and diversity' police should get their teeth into?

After all, one never hears 'straight celebrity' used in the same way.

I would suggest that certain celebs have used the 'coming out' publicity in the past to try and boost flagging careers. I think they only have themselves to blame if they end up with a label after that.
