I removed the Category:Gay artists and Category:LGBT artists from the United States, as there is no reliable statement of sexuality in article or sources, aside from The Advocate commenting on his "decidedly gay pen stroke" and showcasing with innuendo some two dozen images that they deem "gay". Cushing may or may not have been gay, and it might be even fair to say that some of his drawings have been called homoerotic, but in the absence of explicit confirmation we cannot infer sexuality from his art alone nor categorize people on such flimsy or subjective 'evidence'. I have no objection to re-establishing the categories if and when they turn out to be verified. --Animalparty! (talk) 05:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
