Daily Telegraph: Behind The Times

In other theatrical news, I can disclose that Darren Day is to play a homosexual gospel singer in The Last Session at the tiny Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden next month. The Hollyoaks star tells me: "I am thrilled to be playing the part of Gideon in this work as the book, score and lyrics are stunning. The part is a real contrast to my usual roles as I'll be playing a gay gospel singer who is HIV positive. Also, I love the challenge of performing a musical at an intimate theatre like the Tristan Bates. I'm more accustomed to large scale musicals and television. A new challenge is always fantastic and I couldn't resist this as the piece and part are so brilliant." 

The Daily Telegraph - the only British newspaper that still recommends calling gay men "homosexual" in its style book.
"gay: permissible in headlines if essential but use homosexual in text."
Then later, for clarification; "homosexual is an adjective, not a noun"
The baffling "gays" (a noun, not an adjective) is often used elsewhere - even in some gay media - though I don't know of any "gay" who uses it in speech, unless they are being ironic.
Not that I'm suggesting some gay journalists are completely out of touch or anything.
Heaven forfend!
