Talk:Anne Murray

Seriously?
It's laughable that the "Personal Life" Section mentions everything BUT her sexuality! We are all adults...so why are we glossing over the obvious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 (talk) 05:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I presume you're referring to rumours that she's a lesbian. She's denied that point blank.  Do you know any different - and I mean from a reliable source, not just your own hunch?  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  06:51, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

You are either incredible naive or a religious nut. MANY celebrities have outright denied their sexuality...then sheepishly admit it with their tail between their legs years later. Lemme guess, were you shocked when Ricky Martin made his announcement "out-of-the-blue"? LOL... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 (talk) 05:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Let's get this straight (no pun intended). There have been some cases where a celebrity has denied being gay, then later acknowledged it.  I'm with you so far.  But this is where we diverge: You're saying that these cases mean that anyone who denies they're gay is lying and will inevitably, sooner or later, come out or be caught out?  Is that what you're saying?   All we have to do is ask Barack Obama if he's gay.  He will certainly deny it, which, according to you, proves he actually is gay.  Case closed, all neat and tidy.  Come to think of it, we don't even have to go to the trouble of asking him, because we know for sure he would deny it if asked, which is code for "You got me, I'm gay.  Brad Pitt and I, we're an item.  And Michelle and Hillary regularly get it on too.  Wanna see the home movies I made of them together?"  Oh, dear me.  If only it were that simple.
 * I do agree that some mention should be made of the rumours that Anne Murray is a lesbian, but we must also give equal billing to her denial. More than that we cannot possibly say, because there is no reliable source that says she is a lesbian, just plenty of people with schoolgirl mentalities who somehow "know" she is.  Well, this is not the Encyclopaedia of Rumour and Gossip Masquerading as Incontrovertible Fact, it's Wikipedia, and we have our rules about this sort of stuff.  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  09:56, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Looking at the National Post story linked above, if the rumours are going to be discussed in the article, it has to be in the context of them being longstanding rumours that she's repeatedly denied. It probably warrants about a sentence or two in the article, tops. (Every article is different, but that's about the amount of coverage the rumours of Lady Gaga's sex got in her article.) —C.Fred (talk) 15:39, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

I do not believe that she is a lesbian, as she is happily married, & a mother. However, I can think of another aspect of Anne Murray's life, which had been left out of the article about her: She is one of those celebrities who had been victimized by a stalker (I only found this out very recently). Maybe if someone who knows more about it, can add it into the article.--Splashen (talk) 04:18, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Style
The style isn't encyclopedic. It's magaziney. Somebody put up one of those "This article has problems." sidebars or something. 108.93.144.242 (talk) 02:58, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You can edit the article yourself and make whatever changes you feel are necessary. Make sure you have some sources to support your ideas (rather than just how you think the music sounds). DMacks (talk) 05:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
