Spacey named on school's gay list
Published Friday, Jan 6 2006, 20:23 GMT | By Fiona Edwards
Kevin Spacey has been falsely "outed" on a list of famous homosexuals given to schools to educate students.
The list, to be used in schools to increase tolerance towards gay and transgender issues, included names such as Graham Norton, Oscar Wilde and Tchaikovsky. Somehow Spacey, who has never discussed his sexuality, was included in the documents offered by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trangender group.
Organiser Paul Patrick said in a statement: "We double check our material carefully but Mr. Spacey's name got through. I don't know how; it will be withdrawn. It should not have happened and we apologise."
Next month will be the second annual LGBT history month in the UK, with many schools taking part in gay history-themed events during February.
