I disagree with your premise and also with your proffered list. Very often the stories after death are made up. But what does it matter anyway? It's none of our business what someone does in the privacy of their bedroom.
It's this sort of discussion that makes some fearful of coming out because it reeks of judgmentalism.
When we get to the point where we don't care what someone's sexual orientation is any more than we care what their eye color is, then we will have made progress.
And I know--and love--lots of gays, some in, some out.

A photographic memory is worthless when the remembered 'report' was mistaken. Anybody who pays attention catches errors in articles all the time,
even in vaunted publications such as the New York Times. This is news to you?
There is abundant documentation Nicole was born in 1978 and that she is 33. The performing arts high school she graduated from,
Youth Performing Arts School of Louisville, Kentucky, lists Nicole as graduating in 1996, when she was 17. She turned 18 later that month.
Nicole is also listed as a 1996 graduate of Du Pont Manual High School, the sister school of YPAS where Nicole also took classes.
Manual High School's list of Notable Alumni, in fact,
features Nicole as a 1996 graduate, along with her photo and bio.
Quote:
“Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole, a 1996 YPAS graduate, is a singer, actress, dancer and songwriter currently best known for her work as the lead vocalist in the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum international recording group The Pussycat Dolls. Nicole was born in Honolulu but grew up in Louisville. At 14 her first professional play was at Actors Theatre of Louisville in the play La Bete. She went on to perform in the Humana Festival's The Survivor. She furthered her studies at Wright State University majoring in theatre arts, garnering the lead roles of Velma Kelly in Chicago, Miss Sara Brown in Guys and Dolls and Julie LaVern in Show Boat. In 2001 she competed on the WB's television series Popstars, where she earned a spot in the female pop group Eden's Crush. In Los Angeles she landed acting roles in feature films and television. In 2005 she was asked to front the Pussycat Dolls and to record their debut album, PCD. Aside from their multi-platinum success the group was nominated this year at the Grammys for "Best Pop Vocal," won 2006 "Best Dance Music Video" at MTV's VMAs, was nominated for three American Music Awards and Nicole was recently named Complex magazine's "Woman of the Year" for 2007.”
Her teachers at YPAS, by the way,
remembered Nicole as very quiet and humble.

“Teachers remember her as more of a nerd than a Pussycat Doll, saying she was very quiet and humble.”
The book Theatre World 1992-93 shows she played in the Actors Theatre of Louisville production of La Bete when she was 14.
This playbill shows she played in the
Humana Festival "The Survivor" when Nicole was 15.The entire cast is listed here.
As you can see in this video of her audition for Eden's Crush, Nicole is identified as being 22 years old.
That video was taken in early 2001 according to the Eden's Crush wiki page. Nicole was indeed 22 years old in early 2001. She didn't turn 23 until June 29 of that year. Since that was 10 years ago, it fits with her now being 33.
Nicole is also correctly identified as being 22 at the time she won Popstars in this
New York Post article
and in this New York Times featured article about Popstars. Nicole's name and age are mentioned on page 3 but
the article begins here.
