Talk:Carrie Brownstein

Discussion
Where is there any cited source to suggest she is actually dating Annie Clark of St. Vincent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.43.99.87 (talk) 14:20, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Where has she ever stated that she is a lesbian?

 * Dig Into Sleater-Kinney
 * By Amy RaNae Wilson


 * “We weren’t told that it was going to be printed,” Corin Tucker says, her voice noticeably :tightening. “We didn’t know until it was on the stands.”


 * “It” was the fact that Tucker, twenty-four, and Carrie Brownstein, front-women of fast-rising :Northwest band Sleater-Kinney, had briefly dated a few years back. Suddenly, this item had become :available at every newsstand across the nation, courtesy of SPIN magazine. “We weren’t asked about :our personal lives in the interview,” Tucker continues, “We talked about things we thought were :really important, and what they printed was that we dated. It just came out as being gossip.”


 * That mid-1996 gossip was merely a “pain in the ass” for Tucker, who came out to her family when she :was nineteen, but Brownstein’s situation was more delicate – her family had been totally unaware she :was bisexual “It was something that I’d been planning [to tell them] when it felt like the :right time. The process was rapidly sped up for me with the aid of a national magazine,” recalls :Brownstein, twenty-two, with a small laugh that doesn’t entirely cover the pain the experience :caused her. “It’s fine now, and my family is very supportive . . . it’s just not the way I wanted to :go about doing it.”

 * Labels are pretty annoying, but if she identifies herself as bisexual then why should it then be changed to lesbian?--xsarahberries 04:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that must have been a typo in the original article, or the author was confused. Corrin Tucker is bisexual and is currently married (to a man, natch).  I have never seen anything to indicate Carrie Brownstein is bisexual whatsoever -- she is a lesbian.  I think the quote from the article was misattributed and the names in the earlier sentences were swapped around.


 * I just made a small phrasing change: "Brownstein is a bisexual" to "Brownstein is bisexual."  Sounds better, and anyway, unless I've got something terribly wrong, Brownstein isn't a bisexual, she's a person who happens to be bisexual (or not - I'll let the more diehard fans duke that out!)My rain face 13:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Deleted "Briefly dated actor Tobey Maguire", as the only reference I could find was a rather dubious, single sentence here: http://connected.lot23.com/index.php?OldNodeID=2762&NodeID=2767
 * Feel free to revert if anyone has a reputable source

There is no source(reputable or not) that states she is lesbian. There is a reputable source (Curve) that states she is bisexual. And no amount of OR will change that. Nor will "higher criticism' ('the author was confused'!). At present Cakewalking is asserting she is lesbian and using fake sources to do so and repeatedly reverting corrections. That is vandalism and has been reported. 62.64.213.231 10:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * While your posts are of 3 years ago... if it's the case that she is a bisexual and not a lesbian and there are sources that say so as pointed out above, then why does the article make no mention of her sexual orientation other than an outdated souce from when she was dating the one other woman stating that she is "openly gay" rather than bisexual? I think it should be noted that she is indeed a bisexual rather than a lesbian, especially if she's married to a man. 71.179.85.244 (talk) 09:00, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

"Grace" name
2600:100C:B003:663:42C:99FB:D5B9:7949, − is Brownstein's comment verifiable? Can you cite a reliable source stating she said that? Lapadite (talk) 03:25, 2 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Conversely, what's the reliable source for the middle name "Grace"? ASCAP supports "Rachel" but not "Grace". —C.Fred (talk) 03:33, 2 November 2015 (UTC)'
 * I don't know, I didn't add it. The ASCAP link is not working for me (gives a 404 server error) so I am not able to verify that. Lapadite (talk) 03:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I found the page on the ASCAP site with some searching; I'll see if I can find the link. —C.Fred (talk) 04:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * TV Guide shows "Grace": . If the subject has said it's incorrect, then that commentary needs to be verifiable. (Edit:) I searched the ASCAP site - yes she is listed as "Carrie Rachel Brownstein" under Writers, and as "Carrie Brownstein" under Performers. Lapadite (talk) 04:07, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't have a recording of her saying it but it was in Austin, Texas, during her book tour. She said she has no idea where someone got the idea that "Grace" is her middle name and that she attempted to change it but was required to show proof. Regardless, there is no proof Grace is part of her name (other than TV Guide -- ASCAP is probably a more reliable source) so it should never have been added in the first place. digitalwetness (talk) 09:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
