Talk:Ulrich Matthes

Untitled
What happened to his face ? Was he badly burned ? He does not look human. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.30.194.110 (talk) 13:54, 7 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you mean the fact he's rather lean and slim, with a highly defined facial profile? Or the fact that he has a short white beard in the photo? --2003:EF:1705:5E14:E886:C77D:2D3:2B04 (talk) 16:44, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

His outing
He didn't simply out himself. The event linked is an outing protest signed by close to 200 different German actors and actresses, outing themselves as LGBTQI, expressly in order to protest the remaining pressure to remain in the closet in the German acting business, even today in the 21st century. Of course, Matthes outed himself, but the event he participated in thereby was a far bigger thing. --2003:EF:1705:5E14:E886:C77D:2D3:2B04 (talk) 16:44, 7 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree with the other contributor that this sentence "In February 2021, Matthes outed himself as gay" needs to be re-written. Firstly, people do not "out themselves as gay". This phrasing sounds horrendous to a native English-speaker. Rather, people announce that they are gay. Secondly, the context is entirely missing, as the event in February 2021 consisted of 200 different actresses and actors protesting pressure to remain in the closet. This context needs to be added. I request that this sentence be rewritten substantially. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.83.120.180 (talk) 22:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
