One famous gay man dies young, and one semi-famous gay man commits suicide. That officially makes Premature Gay Deaths a trend, and prompts Britain's Daily Mail to print an opinion piece by reporter Jan Moir in which she questions whether, due to our obvious dysfunction, gays really deserve "tolerance and understanding about same-sex relationships."

Of course, in her defense, the recent passings of Miranda Richardson, Heath Ledger, and Billy Mays previously led Ms. Moir to call for the criminalization of skiing, hunkiness, and the Sham-Wow.
