The "Personal Life" section currently reads "Lovett is gay. He also has a dog named Pundit." I haven't removed it because nothing in the WP:BLP explicitly forbids it. However, I don't believe that the name of his dog belongs in his encyclopedia page, and I think it's offensive to have an entire section where you explicitly state that someone is gay when you would not do the same for a straight person (I have never seen a single article that out of nowhere states that the subject "is straight"). This information is also covered by the categories that we assign this page to; when I wrote it I immediately placed it in the LGBT Jews Category among others, so it's not like we are hiding or ignoring this information.
A person’s sexuality is not irrelevant, headlines are made nearly daily of people coming out as anything but heterosexual. People as a rule don’t generate headlines for being straight, they do for being gay, ergo it is covered in reliable sources as a notable fact about them.

Lovett has a dog named pundit who is an angel. Lovett has been romantically linked to Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Ronan Farrow. KLM0816 (talk) 20:49, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bullshit. Lovett's heart obviously belongs to the one and only Spencer. (unsigned) 21:42, 4 Aug 2018 (UTC)
