Robert Williams may not have been the only priest to have ever lived with that name, but assuming he is the only one notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia, the "gay" in the title looks very out of place. Biography articles about people generally do not include their sexual orientation as part of the title. My 2 cents, anyway. Wikignome0530 (talk) 16:32, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But he is only notable as a gay priest. Otherwise he has no notability whatsoever. There are quite a few "Reverend Robert Williams"' in Google, including a notable-looking 19th century man who had a book written about his life and times. Sumbuddi (talk) 17:32, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I came here to raise the same point as Wikignome0530. In my opinion, for the purposes of disambiguation, the word gay is not required. Williams is the only priest of that name in Wikipedia. What the commercial search engines do about it is not strictly our affair, and anyone looking for the entry in the encyclopedia would find it soon enough in the dab page at Robert Wiliams that exists for that purpose. I support the page move to: Robert Williams (priest). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
