And a screenshot of the now deleted articleâs headline:
Thereâs just one problem â Singer isnât gay:
@TheAdvocateMag Paul Singer is not gay.

Just one tiny detail: Paul Singer isn't gay.

@Ebolamerican His son is gay, which led Singer to donate millions to gay causes, but he himself is not gay.

So far, @Advocate hasnât explained the error on its timeline, but there is a correction online in an article with a different URL that now calls Singer an âLGBT-Supportive Billionaire.â
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story referred to Paul Singer as gay. His son and son-in-law married in Massachusetts in 2009.
