Is there any explanation as to why these categories were added to the page:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people
Gay icons
I haven't found any information anywhere supporting this. Also, since when is the National Enquirer a legitimate source to use? I'm removing this line:
Recent reports in the National Enquirer have surfaced, outing Roddy, claiming he was known for taking numerous trips throughout his life to Thailand to conduct sexual encounters with men.
I was introduced to Roddy when he worked the late night shift at WKBW in Buffalo NY sometime around 1966/7. A friend took me to the radio studio where we went to see him DJ. It is certain at that time at least he was gay, he had a small apartment above the Tudor Lounge on Franklin Street which I visited. There is nothing shameful about him being gay.
But by all means go ahead and change the page to have whatever term you like. It's a wiki, after all, and I'm not terribly attached to that particular term. :)
One thing's certain; Rod Roddy's collection of sportcoats was unforgettable. It was one of his signatures. Skybunny 00:50, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
What is this "United Fund" that Rod Roddy led a protest against? -- Popefelix 17:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

The *real* reason why Rod made so many trips to Thailand wasn’t *just* for the designer suits, but also because he was the official ambassador to Chaing Mai. This should be added to the article. This fact can also be found in the CBS obituary External Link. Adg2k7 ( talk) 19:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
There is enough visibility of the disease and everyone knows it is generally associated with women. It's not necessary to note that when mentioning its rare association with men. Sottolacqua ( talk) 11:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I found the link to the old page for Price is Right showing Rod Roddy's death news. Here it is:
