Red Links.[edit]

I know there has been some debate a while ago as to who should and should not be included on this list. Then, it was generally agreed that because this list became so bulky that individuals who did not have a Wiki article should not be included. I am still in agreement of this unofficial "rule". However, I have noticed that there is currently (again) some resistance to this idea, as I have seen a "red" individual Hong Seok-cheon keep being reinserted. I created a stub for him, seeing as how I just thought it would be easier than to get into an edit war, but am wondering what everyone else feels about the the "old" unofficial rule of including folks with no Wiki bios. Should this still hold, or not? I personally don't think this list should keep expanding with people who have no Wiki bios and makes it harder to verify their inclusions and generally, they just take up empty space.

Also, just as an aside - if anyone is so intent on placing someone on the list, why not just take 5 minutes to create a stub article for them? ExRat 01:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keith Ridgway[edit]

Can't find a single external source (leave alone a Reliable source) confirming Keith Ridgway as gay, bisexual or whatever. --Francis Schonken 10:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


In a piece in "3 Days In September - When The Pope Came To Ireland" Liberties Press, on page 204, Ridgway states "I have become an atheist and the type of person the Vatican refers to as 'objectively disordered' and 'evil'. (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons': the full text can be found on www.vatican.va.) I am not, I think it's fair to say,well disposed towards the Pontiff."

For online references, you could try : Gay Community News, Dublin

Or this : "This article analyzes the representation of gay men in contemporary Irish culture through readings of novels published since 1993 by gay-identified authors Tom Lennon, Keith Ridgway, Colm Tóibín, and Jamie O'Neill.", from "Liberalism, Nationalism, and Sexuality in Contemporary Irish Gay Fiction" [1]

Or this : Circa 2000: Gay Fiction at the Millennium

Or this : Stinging Fly

Or this : " In the October ’02 issue of Gi magazine (Gay Ireland) four of Ireland’s most respected living writers are profiled—all happen to be gay: Jamie O’Neill (author of ‘At Swim, Two Boys’, recently made into a mainstream film), Colm Toibin (nominated for the Booker Prize in 1999 for ‘The Blackwater Lightship’), Frank Ronan (awarded a top Irish prize for his 1989 ‘The Men Who Loved Evelyn Cotton’) and Keith Ridgway (debuted in 1998 with the intense ‘The Long Falling’)."[2]

Additionally, he was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award in 1999 [3]

How about this:
"One of Ireland's most successful gay writers" according to Gay Community News [4]
? --Francis Schonken 13:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, fair enough. Although it does seem to suggest a certain doubt as to his sexuality. I honestly think that no such doubt exists. But yes, let's go with that for the moment if you want. --Wastekiller 13:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} Thomas Pynchon fix[edit]

{{editsemiprotected}}

Thomas Pynchon is listed on here as being gay, but the provided reference (78) did not seem to say anything about him at all, let alone about him being gay. I did some further research, and have failed to find any further references to Thomas Pynchon being gay.

 Done. This was a violation of our Biographies of living persons policy. Thank you for catching it. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Intelligentsium 20:21, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Not a great source; it fails to actually quote his exact words on his sexuality, merely asserting his sexuality and then quoting him on matters of personal privacy. And Google didn't uncover more solid sources, either. If you can find a better source, then by all means bring it to our attention — but this one, as written, isn't good enough.

Semi-protected edit request on 9 March 2014[edit]

Please add Sergei Parajanov and Camille Paglia. Thanks! 46.116.221.185 (talk) 16:53, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 17:32, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just read the Wikipedia entries themselves for many reliable sources. 46.116.221.185 (talk) 19:05, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done It is not up to others to seek out the sources for you - if you want a change it is up to you to provide a specific source that "proves" the point of your request - Arjayay (talk) 19:12, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

From The New York Times: "Ms. Paglia presents herself as a prophet ahead of her time. Was her future first apparent in the late 1960's and early 70's, when she was a graduate student at Yale University where, she claims, she was the only openly gay person?" ([5])

From Vertigo Magazine: "There is however clear evidence that Paradjanov was bisexual." ([6]) 46.116.221.185 (talk) 19:17, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Got Paglia in WhisperToMe (talk) 02:29, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Now we're only left with Parajanov... Please tell me if you need more sources. This is 46.116.221.185... 85.250.132.171 (talk) 05:47, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Pending Would prefer more references re Paradjanov before proceeding with this edit request. There's a fair-sized body of sources denying homosexuality, and an even larger body which makes no reference either way. The Vertigo Magazine reference looks very brief in comparison. Of course the denials of homosexuality should be considered in the context of Soviet laws and Paradjanov's imprisonment, but I'd be more comfortable with a second reference to support the counter-claim. Euryalus (talk) 11:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is 46.116.221.185 here once again... Here's critic Jonathan Rosenbaum: "[I]n December 1973, he was arrested on multiple charges, including homosexuality, homosexual coercion, anti-Soviet activities, illegal dealings in foreign currency and art objects, spreading venereal disease, selling pornography, and “incitement to suicide.” (Reportedly, the suicide of a young male friend in Paradjanov’s circle who had contracted a venereal disease accounted for more than half of these charges.) Accounts of the trial’s outcome vary considerably: According to Sight and Sound, Paradjanov’s outspoken self-defense, which included an admission that he was bisexual, led to his sentence of six years’ hard labor in a Ukrainian prison camp for homosexuality..." ([7]). 132.66.73.6 (talk) 11:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the post. Not trying to be difficult but I don't think this is sufficient either. The same article also says: "As indicated above, it’s remarkable how little we still know about this subject (ie. Paradjanov's sexuality) 14 years later––one indication of why much of the information here remains tentative." There is also a credibility question over 'official' reports of testimony given at a Soviet show trial. I've a feeling there will be little to suggest Paradjanov was not homosexual, but so far we have the classic gap Wikipedia gap between "truth" and "verifiability." -- Euryalus (talk) 11:24, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the reply. I think I'll leave it now as I'm hardly an expert on this case... Might as well be if this is not up to Wiki's standards. I'm not familiar with more serious sources but feel free to add some if you can find them. Closing this for now. 132.66.73.6 (talk) 11:27, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I'll have a hunt around Jstor later this evening, see if I can find anything. Euryalus (talk) 11:30, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
