Bisexuality

On September 14, he came out as bisexual. Someone should edit the article with all of the details of that as I don't have time to do this. Feel free to delete this section once that has been accomplished. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollywood43ar (talk • contribs) 13:12, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The middle name controversy

Recently there are edits dealing only with Gillums middle name. The only source I found was blackpast.org (https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/andrew-d-gillum-1979/) which backs the version that give Demese as middle name. Has someone other sources which backs or contradicts this version? Gehenna1510 (talk) 19:36, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
