When the Mexican government apparently revealed the identity of Subcomandante Marcos that asserted among other things that he was a gay rights activist in his life before the Zapatista movement, he shrugged it off in a rather inspired speech addressing the question of Who is Subcomandante Marcos?, that it doesn't matter:
"Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `Enough'. He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable — this is Marcos."
Does this count?
Removing the bit about 'Corporal Josh Pearson of Generation Kill' partly because no one named Josh Pearson appears in Generation Kill, partly because it's less a boast and more just being mean to some kid for no good reason, and partly because it seems to be fictional.
