The categorization of Max Wright as LGBT does not seem accurate. As far as I know he has never discussed his sexual orientation.
His partner for the last 2 years of his life was a man, so I'm pretty sure that qualifies him for the category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.86.193 ( talk) 01:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
I'd like to know more about this. Some very cursory searches seem intriguing:

"Max Wright (born August 2, 1943 in Detroit, Michigan) was an American actor" Does it mean that he is not alive yet?-- Soul assassin 11:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
My thoughts on the National Enquirer article have evolved. On April 10, 2001, the Enquirer ran a multi-page photo spread called "Alf Star Caught in Crack House," of Wright smoking crack from a beer can and making out with another man. While Wright never, to the best of my knowledge, addressed the accusations. I think the accusations (with an appropriate footnote), are reasonable to include here so long as they are clearly labeled as speculative. Uucp ( talk) 14:32, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
I just heard on an imdb message board that he just died of a coccain overdose, but I can't find any other mention of it anywhere. 24.29.74.132 17:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

90% of this article does not have credibility. Mr. Wright has a resctric social and gay life. He is still an actor. Playing theatre in UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jean Pier-UK ( talk • contribs) 04:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I know people here love to hide the truth, but we really need to comment about the crack smoking, gay sex with homeless people reference. Apart from ALF, that's where people remember Max from. 118.90.50.22 ( talk) 02:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC) I guess they won't be happy until they find him dead from a coke binge with male hookers. If they would at least print the truth here, maybe Benji Gregory would come to help him, or maybe that girl that was on Uncle Buck.
They interviewed one of the tricks that he was having interracial gay sex with, and he confirmed the story. That interview should be substantial enough to put the truth on the front page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.102.108.156 ( talk) 03:32, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
and he confirmed the story.

Whether these things happened or not (and I tend to believe they did), the scandal is literally the thing he is most known for outside of Alf. To make absolutely no mention of it is absolutely whitewashing. 108.70.12.24 ( talk) 23:17, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
Attempted to include this in the personal life section as tastefully as possible, though I admit the Daily Mail is not a great source, it's reporting on the original controversy years later. Any suggestions for improving this section are welcome. -- CaptainNtheGameMaster ( talk) 09:29, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes I see the problem of adding it because sourcing on it is not the best possible. As can be seen above, people have asked about this in the past (not in the most kindest way possible). That's why I tried to be tactful. I don't think I assigned any unnecessary weight, it was literally just two sentences (granted that's a big percentage on a bio this dinky) but I tried suggesting an FAQ or something else to note that a.) yes, Wikipedia acknowledges it's a thing that happened but b.) it can't go in the article because the sources are on Wikipedia's no-go list. I also realise, this isn't exactly a burning issue; I doubt Wright's planning to make a comeback into acting in the near future; so if there's no obvious solution, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'm more thinking that this is an issue which is likely to be brought up on the discussion page in the future. So if there's some easy way of addressing it that complies to the Wikipedia rulebook I'd be open to adding it.
I myself only heard about this issue recently, was curious so checked Wikipedia, didn't find anything and then became curious asto why there wasn't anything here. -- CaptainNtheGameMaster ( talk) 17:41, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
An editor has recently repeatedly added material on the above-discussed incident, but is relying on a source that has previously been deemed unreliable ( Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_281#Omigosh,_are_Cheatsheet.com_and_WeGotThisCovered.com_reliable?. I ask that the material not be readded until a reliable source has been found. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 22:16, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
