Muriel Robin
editMuriel Robin is a famous French comedian (famous in France anyway...), born August 2nd, 1955, who recently came out. She gave an interview to têtu, a gay magazine, about dropping her mask: http://www.tetu.com/actualites/people/muriel-robin-je-tombe-le-masque-je-nai-plus-peur-15611/10 She came out in several other magazine as liking men and women. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amidabutsu (talk • contribs) 16:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Edit request from 86.135.148.81, 28 February 2011
edit{{edit semi-protected}}
Please add Kieron Richardson to the list. He is a British actor (Ste Hay, Hollyoaks) and came out as gay 5 months ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKZkZZjQ_JE He confirms it in this interview at 5:08 86.135.148.81 (talk) 19:36, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Youtube videos are almost never considered reliable sources, except when posted by the source itself (and then only under the exceptions for any self-published source) or when released as part of an official channel, like if a news show had a youtube channel with clips. If you do have a source that meets the reliable sources guidelines, please make a new edit request with that information. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:12, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Although your right, YouTube videos have been accepted in FA and GA-status articles. They aren't encouraged as a source, but if there aren't any RS out there, then the original content (YouTube video, official video) would take its place. AJona1992 (talk) 16:48, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Edit request from 86.135.148.81, 2 March 2011
editI submitted an edit request earlier, but was refused on the grounds that my source was from YouTube. This new reference should be more acceptable. (Kieron Richardson, British, Actor, Gay) http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/sep/15/hollyoaks-actor-kieron-richardson-gay
Craig Rodwell
editBeen trying to fix the Craig Rodwell Papers at the NYPL dead link but the correction won't take: "Craig Rodwell Papers", New York Public Library, February 1999, retrieved 2011-07-25.

Travis John Pollock B 1981 Actor Adult Entertainment
- Not done For one thing, Pollock does not begin with an R. For two, he does not have a Wikipedia article at that name to link to — this is not a free-for-all list of every LGBT person in the world, it is a list of LGBT people who have Wikipedia articles, and a person cannot be listed here if they don't have one. For three, even if he did have one you haven't provided a source. Bearcat (talk) 06:16, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
Raven-Symoné
editRaven-Symoné is classified as Lesbian in this list. She herself, says, however rejects the labeling of herself and of identifying as either African-American or gay, specifying that she is an "American" and a "human who loves humans." Classifying her as lesbian against her will, is very much like classifying a human with 1/64 black descent as a Negro against her will: a personal violation. It was once done by racist governments, now its done by gay activists.
I suggest that Raven-Symoné should be removed from this list. Weatherford (talk) 21:41, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Weatherford: You came here to request something you can remove yourself or to attack people? (CC) Tbhotch™ 21:55, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Tbhotch: I'm sorry. My intentions was not to attack people, just showing how demeaning this entry might be perceived. I will not remove anything without support from other editors; I am trying to improve the akribi of the list, not start an editorial war. Weatherford (talk) 22:01, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
