A Guardian contributor mistakenly cited Sir Patrick Stewart as being gay, resulting in this correction:
This article was amended on 17 February 2014. The third paragraph originally said ‘Some gay people, such as Sir Patrick Stewart, think Page’s coming out speech is newsworthy’. This should have read ‘Some people, such as Sir Patrick Stewart, think Page’s coming out speech is newsworthy’.

Stewart later responded:
.@Poynter But @guardian I have, like, five or even SEVEN hetero friends and we totally drink beer and eat lots of chicken wings!

Well, @guardian it makes for a nice change…at least I didn't wake up to the internet telling me I was dead again.
