When should "openly gay" be part of the story?

• Only on gay websites like this one, where that's what people care about.

• Only when it's historic or significant, as it is in Mitcham's case.

• Always. Neil Patrick Harris should have "openly gay" before his name until he's 105.

• Never, unless the person mentions their personal life specifically, for clarity.

• Only if the "openly gay" in question is cute.
