Mark Landler raises the tone of the NYT with this article on cannibalism. It mentions a photo of the cannibal, showing a well-dressed, smiling man, savoring a cigarette and glass of wine at what looks like a dinner table. Which I found here. The google translation includes this snippet:

Berlin - the bizarre double life of the eaten Bernd Juergen B. the homosexuals software engineer did not only stand on abnormal Sexpraktiken and the Stricher of the station zoo - it had also a preference for dark-membranous men.

In other words, the NYT can tell us a man's a cannibal, but not that he's gay. Yes, I realize that not all gay men eat human flesh. (There's a joke to be made there.)
