An anonymous editor seems to want Kemal listed here. Kemal's WP article says nothing to support inclusion (and I'm pretty sure, frankly, that editors there would not keep any such assertion for more than a minute). The initial citation was one user review of a book on Amazon.com. The anon IP found some professor who has a personal page with an uncited "List of GLB people" of his own, which indeed lists Kemal. But that seems weak to me. Anyone else want to opine if this name is at all supportable? Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:36, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I have removed Kurt Cobain from the list. Although whoever listed him did provide a reference, the reference did not confirm any evidence of avowed homo/bisexuality. The reference (the Advocate) asked Cobain if he ever thought he may be gay. Cobain's response (in part): "So I thought I would try to be gay for a while, but I'm just more sexually attracted to women. But I'm really glad that I found a few gay friends, because it totally saved me from becoming a monk or something.' I mean, I'm definitely gay in spirit, and I probably could be bisexual."
I don't think that is so much an admission of actual homoesexuality/bisexuality as it is a statement of accepting and relating to gays in general. That statement seems pretty tentative to me. ExRat 03:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- The Gay Nineties: Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day should be removed from this page for the same reason Cobain was. Yes, there is an(other) Advocate article from the '90s referenced, but the quotes from that article stating Armstrong had an "ex-girlfriend who was bisexual" and a gay uncle who "has full-blown AIDS now" are extremely weak evidence of Armstrong's own bisexuality. Like Cobain, this is more acceptance of homosexuality than any kind of personal admission of homosexuality or bisexuality. Pretty much everybody famous in the '90s gave a tease interview to the Advocate, in an attempt to crossover alternative music with alternative lifestyles in hopes of finding an alternative to a job, which worked out pretty well for Armstrong and (the estate of) Cobain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.103.113.222 ( talk • contribs)

Hey hey! What are people's thoughts? Does that source fully support the claim that she is bisexual? Does her saying "Two women are way sexier than two men in bed. We have a better feel for our bodies.” She went on to add, “I love experimenting with my sexuality." " mean she identifies as bisexual? The first sentence seems to merely suggest she finds lesbians more sexy than gay men, and the second merely that she experiments with her sexuality. I personally don't think that means she is saying she is bisexual (for one thing, that sounds like a set sexuality, which 'experimenting' doesn't support). But what do others think? Skittle 18:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't think she should be on the list. The source does not say she is bisexual. I know of no sources that say (a) she has sex with woman, or (b) she defines herself as bisexual. Many straight women kiss other women at times - by that standard every woman in France should be listed. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 17:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I have just removed:
|- | Joey Lauren Adams | align=center|b. 1968 | American | Actress. | Bisexual | [1]
The listed source does not mention her at all, only Brett Anderson. Nor is it on Planetout. Planetout has three articles that mention her, but not her sexuality. Article title on Google brings up the Anderson link.
Planetout does have an article that refers to her thus: "Joey Lauren Adams, the bisexual lead in Chasing Amy," but this is unclear as the character is lesbi/bi and Adams has since said she never said she was bi (see http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Joey+Lauren+Adams/). Mdbrownmsw 18:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Additionally, a later article on Planetout says "portrayals of lesbian and gay film characters by non-gays Joey Lauren Adams ("Chasing Amy")". Hmm. The character in the film ids as a lesbian, but the plot could easily argue for bi. But Planetout fails to identify an out bi as bi in an article? I doubt it. Mdbrownmsw 18:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I have removed a number of entries sourced only from this website. I do not think it meets the requirement of WP:RS and certainly doesn't seem acceptable for sourcing controversial comments about living people. The removal can always be reverted. But I think there should be a full discussion here of the merits of that source first. WjB scribe 04:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I dispute James Dean's inclusion on this list since the "evidence" of his alleged bisexuality is almost entirely hearsay and conjecture. I also question the inclusion of Billie Joe Armstrong; just because he said he believes everyone is born bisexual does not mean he himself is bisexual.-- Zendaddy621 21:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

How is this list not listcruft? Much of the content of the page beyond the list exists mainly to justify the list and to give suppositions about why the list is geographically skewed. I gather that the listcruft page is not a policy but an essay. Nevertheless, it seems to me that point 7, The list has no content beyond links to other articles, so would be better implemented as a (self-maintaining) category strongly applies in this instance. Since such a category already exists, I think this list isn't just kinda krufty, it's also redundant. Why is having a list better than just having a naturally-accumulating category? Is being gay, lesbian or bisexual, well, notable enough to justify the list? Do we have a list of known smokers? A list of people who have never drunk alcohol? A list of virgins? A list of people with a 4.0 average in high school?
I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to diminish the work of the sponsoring project. I'm just trying to frame this list's relevancy in the light of debates I've seen about other lists, some of which seemed to me a good deal more focused than this one. Indeed, I could see the benefit of a list of "Gay politicians", because that list would be narrow, and you could give some background material about the struggles faced by politicians who were gay. But this just seems so wide open that it imparts no useful information. The mitigating criterion here is "fame", which is surely one of the least NPOV criteria one could imagine. CzechOut 07:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Someone should really check all the references. Many do not support the contention that the people were gay or bisexual. Christina Aguilera, as I've argued above, shouldn't be on this list -- no source lists her as having had sex with a woman or as identifying as gay or bisexual. Jane Adams also shouldn't be on the list -- the source mentions a long-term, close friendship with a woman, but there is no indication that they were sexually active, and they certainly did not identify as gay or bisexual. I suspect many of the people on this list don't belong here. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 17:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Let,s continue this where it will get the most attention. Circeus 19:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
The source for the Elizabeth Arden entry provides no evidence whatsoever that she was bisexual or lesbian. It's pure speculation based on a friendship with a woman who happened to be lesbian (Elisabeth "Bessie" Marbury). Their friendship isn't even described as being especially emotionally intimate. The source itself states, "Though it is clear they became close friends, whether or not they were intimately involved can only be a matter of speculation." [4]. Her image should not be featured on this article and a citation tag should be added until someone can provide actual evidence. KayoRu ( talk) 12:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello!
The origin of the word "Fag," goes back to the English Boarding Schools' era. There, the weakest and most defensless boys were sent out to purchase Cigerattes, AKA "Fags" for the stronger boys. Hence, the name "FAGs" stuck to the boys who seemed weak and defensless; Later, the word for Cigerattes, FAGs was transposed onto the boys who exhibited similar tendencies and who also liked the company of other boys of sexual nature. The origin of the word "Lesbian," goes back to the time of the Greek Civilization. A Greek king had once ordered some women to be shipped to the Island of "Lesbos" in the Adriatic Sea where these women were to live for the rest of their lives. Because there weren't any men to satisfy their sexual needs, the women explored and learned to satisfy each other's sexual libido by their only means of loving one another. Based on and due to this Island's name of "Lesbos," the word "Lesbian" came into existence from more then 2000 Thousand years ago, though its use is only recent. The Greeks did enjoy same sex interactions for Millenia and it was accepted as a part of natural human sexual behvior.
It was not until the Christians came into the picture when these everyday and normal practices were banned by the Roman Churches, who are also guilty of the same!
I came across my findings while searching for origins of names and words. These facts are verifiable through and with any Etymological Dictinary of Modern English. I hope that you would find my Data informative and, I also hope that it will give the reader a better understanding of the words' usage in modern day society based on its ancient sources and of its origins dating back 2000 years ago! Regards, Steve Horvath, Chicago, IL
What about Alexander the Great the greatest military leader of all time he had multiple male and female lovers.
No ancient sources suggest he had homosexual relationships & I don't think there's sufficient evidence for his inclusion in the list. /info/en/?search=Alexander_the_Great#Personal_relationships
The notion that Jane Addams was a lesbian in the modern sense seems highly speculative, based on the Wikipedia article about her. If having a 'romantic friendship' qualified her as a lesbian, I guess Abraham Lincoln was bi-sexual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryeisenman ( talk • contribs) 06:52, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey hey! What are people's thoughts? Does that source fully support the claim that she is bisexual? Does her saying "Two women are way sexier than two men in bed. We have a better feel for our bodies.” She went on to add, “I love experimenting with my sexuality." " mean she identifies as bisexual? The first sentence seems to merely suggest she finds lesbians more sexy than gay men, and the second merely that she experiments with her sexuality. I personally don't think that means she is saying she is bisexual (for one thing, that sounds like a set sexuality, which 'experimenting' doesn't support). But what do others think?

I don't think she should be on the list. The source does not say she is bisexual. I know of no sources that say (a) she has sex with woman, or (b) she defines herself as bisexual. Many straight women kiss other women at times - by that standard every woman in France should be listed. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 17:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I have just removed:
|- | Joey Lauren Adams | align=center|b. 1968 | American | Actress. | Bisexual | [1]
The listed source does not mention her at all, only Brett Anderson. Nor is it on Planetout. Planetout has three articles that mention her, but not her sexuality. Article title on Google brings up the Anderson link.
Planetout does have an article that refers to her thus: "Joey Lauren Adams, the bisexual lead in Chasing Amy," but this is unclear as the character is lesbi/bi and Adams has since said she never said she was bi (see http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Joey+Lauren+Adams/).

Additionally, a later article on Planetout says "portrayals of lesbian and gay film characters by non-gays Joey Lauren Adams ("Chasing Amy")". Hmm. The character in the film ids as a lesbian, but the plot could easily argue for bi. But Planetout fails to identify an out bi as bi in an article? I doubt it. Mdbrownmsw 18:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed his entry as the only reliable reference is Myspace, which I don't consider reliable. I know I have read somewhere that he is bisexual (He appeared in Another Gay Movie as well). Can someone provide a better reference, I'm at work and have only access to Wikipedia, ugh! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 14:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Can someone tell me why Giorgio Armani's sexual orientation is disputed? If it is really disputed, shouldn't his entry be removed from the list?

I have removed a number of entries sourced only from this website. I do not think it meets the requirement of WP:RS and certainly doesn't seem acceptable for sourcing controversial comments about living people. The removal can always be reverted. But I think there should be a full discussion here of the merits of that source first. WjB scribe 04:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I dispute James Dean's inclusion on this list since the "evidence" of his alleged bisexuality is almost entirely hearsay and conjecture. I also question the inclusion of Billie Joe Armstrong; just because he said he believes everyone is born bisexual does not mean he himself is bisexual.-- Zendaddy621 21:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

How is this list not listcruft? Much of the content of the page beyond the list exists mainly to justify the list and to give suppositions about why the list is geographically skewed. I gather that the listcruft page is not a policy but an essay. Nevertheless, it seems to me that point 7, The list has no content beyond links to other articles, so would be better implemented as a (self-maintaining) category strongly applies in this instance. Since such a category already exists, I think this list isn't just kinda krufty, it's also redundant. Why is having a list better than just having a naturally-accumulating category? Is being gay, lesbian or bisexual, well, notable enough to justify the list? Do we have a list of known smokers? A list of people who have never drunk alcohol? A list of virgins? A list of people with a 4.0 average in high school?
I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to diminish the work of the sponsoring project. I'm just trying to frame this list's relevancy in the light of debates I've seen about other lists, some of which seemed to me a good deal more focused than this one. Indeed, I could see the benefit of a list of "Gay politicians", because that list would be narrow, and you could give some background material about the struggles faced by politicians who were gay. But this just seems so wide open that it imparts no useful information. The mitigating criterion here is "fame", which is surely one of the least NPOV criteria one could imagine. CzechOut 07:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Someone should really check all the references. Many do not support the contention that the people were gay or bisexual. Christina Aguilera, as I've argued above, shouldn't be on this list -- no source lists her as having had sex with a woman or as identifying as gay or bisexual. Jane Adams also shouldn't be on the list -- the source mentions a long-term, close friendship with a woman, but there is no indication that they were sexually active, and they certainly did not identify as gay or bisexual. I suspect many of the people on this list don't belong here. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 17:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Let,s continue this where it will get the most attention. Circeus 19:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
The source for the Elizabeth Arden entry provides no evidence whatsoever that she was bisexual or lesbian. It's pure speculation based on a friendship with a woman who happened to be lesbian (Elisabeth "Bessie" Marbury). Their friendship isn't even described as being especially emotionally intimate. The source itself states, "Though it is clear they became close friends, whether or not they were intimately involved can only be a matter of speculation." [4]. Her image should not be featured on this article and a citation tag should be added until someone can provide actual evidence. KayoRu ( talk) 12:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello!
The origin of the word "Fag," goes back to the English Boarding Schools' era. There, the weakest and most defensless boys were sent out to purchase Cigerattes, AKA "Fags" for the stronger boys. Hence, the name "FAGs" stuck to the boys who seemed weak and defensless; Later, the word for Cigerattes, FAGs was transposed onto the boys who exhibited similar tendencies and who also liked the company of other boys of sexual nature. The origin of the word "Lesbian," goes back to the time of the Greek Civilization. A Greek king had once ordered some women to be shipped to the Island of "Lesbos" in the Adriatic Sea where these women were to live for the rest of their lives. Because there weren't any men to satisfy their sexual needs, the women explored and learned to satisfy each other's sexual libido by their only means of loving one another. Based on and due to this Island's name of "Lesbos," the word "Lesbian" came into existence from more then 2000 Thousand years ago, though its use is only recent. The Greeks did enjoy same sex interactions for Millenia and it was accepted as a part of natural human sexual behvior.
It was not until the Christians came into the picture when these everyday and normal practices were banned by the Roman Churches, who are also guilty of the same!
I came across my findings while searching for origins of names and words. These facts are verifiable through and with any Etymological Dictinary of Modern English. I hope that you would find my Data informative and, I also hope that it will give the reader a better understanding of the words' usage in modern day society based on its ancient sources and of its origins dating back 2000 years ago!

What about Alexander the Great the greatest military leader of all time he had multiple male and female lovers.
No ancient sources suggest he had homosexual relationships & I don't think there's sufficient evidence for his inclusion in the list. /info/en/?search=Alexander_the_Great#Personal_relationships
The notion that Jane Addams was a lesbian in the modern sense seems highly speculative, based on the Wikipedia article about her. If having a 'romantic friendship' qualified her as a lesbian, I guess Abraham Lincoln was bi-sexual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryeisenman ( talk • contribs) 06:52, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
