Wikipedia says that Grace Lee Boggs is gay.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Lee_Boggs

Is that true? It seems like someone just tacked it onto the end of a paragraph.

In 1962, the Boggses broke with C.L.R. James and continued Correspondence Publishing Committee along with Lyman Paine and Freddy Paine, while C.L.R. James' supporters, such as Martin Glaberman, continued on as a new if short-lived organization, Facing Reality. The ideas that formed the basis for the 1962 split can be seen as reflected in James Boggs' book, The American Revolution: Pages from a Black Worker's Notebook. Grace Lee Boggs unsuccessfully attempted to convince Malcolm X to run for the United States Senate in 1964. In later years, the Boggses' politics became much more eclectic and third worldist, praising Castro and Mao. In these years, Boggs wrote a number of books, including Revolution and Evolution in the Twentieth Century with James Boggs and focused on community activism in Detroit where she became a very widely known activist. Grace Lee is also known to be gay

It doesn't even have a period after that sentence. Looks like some loser just doesn't like her and put in a statement they thought would be an insult.
