I wish. Currently it seems like were going to the exact opposite direction and special focus is being put on people's race and sexuality. This headline is a great example; highlighting his sexuality and young age. I bet he'd rather be recognized for something he can actually take credit for.

I think, if the person in question is comfortable with such, it's okay to mention like 'first X as Y' as it shows some progression and awareness that anybody can now achieve anything and can encourage other people with the same or similar traits.

But yeah, hopefully once we get past that, we can get back to people being recognised for what they do, rather than what they look like or who they would prefer to fuck.
