@TheAdvocateMag Paul Singer is not gay.

So far, @Advocate hasn’t explained the error on its timeline, but there is a correction online in an article with a different URL that now calls Singer an “LGBT-Supportive Billionaire.”
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story referred to Paul Singer as gay. His son and son-in-law married in Massachusetts in 2009.
