Finalfantasyairplane, regarding your revert, there is no rule for or against mentioning parents' names in one's biography. In this case, the mother is already known, so is it much more to mention the father as well? In addition, are you considering Zal's sexual orientation controversial? The New York Times covered his background and covered that aspect, even quoting him about what he thought about it. Is it a problem with including these details or how they are included in prose?

For the latter, it may be worth referencing WP:LGBT#Guidelines. If needed, we can attribute The New York Times directly. It is not something to censor from his biography. Erik ( talk | contribs) 02:24, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
If he has identified his sexual orientation to The NY Times, and the Times has seen fit to print it, there is absolutely no reason to exclude it from this article. It is a basic fact of his identity, roughly equivalent to his age or place of birth. Of course, straight directors aren't identified as straight in their articles; Wikipedia exists in a culture where heterosexuality is assumed. When someone chooses to disrupt assumptions, let's be respectful of their decision to do so. Rivertorch ( talk) 21:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Both brothers are gay, a realization that Mr. [Zal] Batmanglij said he found challenging and liberating: “You have to let go of the fantasy or the projection of your life and accept the life that you are living communally.” But, Mr. Batmanglij added: “It’s awesome to be part of a gay family. Right now, my brother and I can focus on our work, our creative work, and our parents can support that.”
