Yes, straight people have lives that are described in detail and we have "sexuality" that the Post evidently thinks is so defamatory, as you said, that they can't mention it.

I also wonder if the Wa Post declined to write about what was obviously a lesbian affair out of a desire to "protect" the greiving parents from "negative" speculation.

It's too bad really. This story could have led to a much needed article in a mainstream paper on the crisis of gay and lesbian youth suicides. Instead of taking the opportunity to engage in real, substantive journalism, the Wa Post decided to produce a straightwashed obituary.
