The Guardian opts for “comedian”:

Stephen Fry has told fans he is “very, very happy” to announce his engagement to the comedian Elliot Spencer despite having hoped for a private wedding.

The Indy agrees:

Not a single newsreport in any of the mainstream papers mentions the words “gay” or “homosexual”.
