==LGBT designations==

I removed your Category designations "Gay, lesbian or bisexual people" and "LGBT actors" from [[Greta Garbo]]. While there has been much speculation about her sexuality, I don't think Wikipedia is a place where we should gave a label of any sort on any issue based on nothing more than speculation. An encyclopedia article cannot make a statement of fact without the necessary proof to back it up. It seems we are at times prone to write things about the dead that we never would if they were alive because of thje threat of a lawsuit. (I'm thinking of [[Tom Cruise]] in particular]].) I have done a lot of writing/reseach on the early film industry and have never found a shred of proof that Garbo was a lesbian or bisexual. I did find a lot of jealous "macho" men she had spurned whose egos were so large that they called her a lesbian. Of course you may have come across factual information that I have not so if that's the case, please insert it in the article and reinstate the categories I deleted. Thanks.
