Why does the article twice address his husband as his "partner"? From what I can tell, same-sex marriage in Massachussetts carries the same status as straight marriage.
Is there any evidence he violated age of consent laws? Any at all? It seems unlikely (age 17, year 1973). Unless there is, I think that part should be removed. 70.183.123.253 04:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Was the name of the page ever made public and what State was he from? Was he from Massachusetts and/or from Studds district? IIRC, the "AOC" in both DC and Mass. at the time was 16, but if the page was from Florida, the age is 18. This would go to the confusion surrounding statutory laws from state to state.
Studds has just died, but I cannot find an article source for this, other than the CNN.com homepage right now. I won't put it into the article until a source can be found. JP06035 as 4.157.83.111 13:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
So now that he's passed on, do we remove the box at the top regarding "living persons"? 4.232.186.40 05:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I deleted Category:Stautory Rapists. Lemonsquares inserted Category:Modern Pederasty. As you can imagine, I don't think that's an improvement. Reality check please. Am I alone in my view of what editorial discretion dictates in this particular biography? BLP doesn't apply. Studds is dead. But does the fact of his death mean he's fair game for this sort of derogatory categorization. David in DC ( talk) 20:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
