Fair use rationale for Image:MartCrowley2.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MartCrowley2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November (talk) 23:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opportunity for Research[edit]

While twenty years ago Boys in the Band might have been considered passe, by 2012, as the country enters a second Civil Rights Movement, the work has growing historical importance. It was a dramatic cross section of the last generation of gay men living in the closet, and resigned to that. It would make an excellent thesis topic in any American Studies course, now. Gay history, like black history in the Fifties, has become American history. Profhum (talk) 18:54, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Crowley's sexuality[edit]

Is he openly gay? I could not find reliable sources online to verify. I wonder if anybody has published offline sources. If anybody has access to primary sources, like Crowley himself, make sure that his sexuality is open in published papers (newspaper or books). --George Ho (talk) 10:49, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found out that I confused "Mart" with "Matt". Therefore, I found sources that must be reliable enough to confirm it. --George Ho (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited info[edit]

Crowley's second work, Remote Asylum, was mounted with great expectations at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in 1970, but it failed to garner the raves his debut had. In that same year, he enjoyed greater success with the motion picture adaptation of The Boys in the Band. With his next play, the autobiographical A Breeze from the Gulf, he regained cachet with the critics and earned a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award nomination for Best Play. The Men From the Boys, his sequel to The Boys in the Band was produced by the New Conservatory Theatre Center in San Francisco in 2002, and by the Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles in 2003.

The above is uncited; I just skimmed the passage down into a version that implies a reference to the primary source without need of inline citation. --George Ho (talk) 17:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
