Talk:Alan Cumming

message: Does anyone have any sources for Alan Cumming being specifically involved in LGBT rights rather than just being gay bisexual? I suspect the category (:Category: LGBT rights activists) should be removed.-- Ashley VH 08:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Good source but from my reading it does not say he is gay or straight (though his quote "I think it's really important to stand up and be happy for what we've got. But it's really a bad time to be gay in America right now." seems to indicate he is gay). From this article it might be clearer to put Alan under :Category:British human rights activists but it is interesting he mentions GLAAD. As the article does not specifically discuss his involvement in (gay) rights activism, I've removed the LGBT rights activists until some sourced description is added (possibly by me in a few days time).-- Ashley VH 10:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Already changed my mind, I've added his being awarded the Vito Russo Award by GLAAD under his personal life. -- Ashley VH 11:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He's not gay because he's bisexual. This is referenced in the article, and the lead section for that matter. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 13:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks, I agree. My original question was really about his role as a LGBT rights activist rather than his sexuality. I think the GLAAD reference is a sufficient source to keep him in this category.-- Ashley VH 14:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Alan Cumming also provided the voice of the Devil in God, the Devil and Bob which I would suggest is more significant than some of the other things he is 'best known for' listed here.
He has also been popular in the UK for a considerable time, long before he did Cabaret in New York.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.205.224.155 (talk) 09:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I fixed an editorialized and non factual description which was reverted. What's up?
* "...the only regular male character on the show."
What is meant by "regular" in this case? The description I used provides some actual history, and he's definitely not a "regular male", nor the only one. There are many "regular" male characters who have no gender issues at all. Some are straight and some are gay or bisexual. Max is anything but "regular". Filmfluff (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I think someone has misunderstood the info about his abusive father. He claimed later in life that Alan wasn't his son but this wasn't true, it was something he said to hurt him.

: That was me. Thanks for clarifying this. I have the book but haven't read it yet so was confused. I fixed the references. Thanks! - Erika BrillLyle (talk) 14:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I don't understand "Cumming and his brother took DNA tests that proved they were indeed his biological children".  Surely what the tests show is that he and his brother have the same father.  They do not identify who the father was is. 86.167.229.152 (talk) 17:56, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Hey, uninterested editor here RC patrolling and stuff, I see the addition of the birthday without a valid source, this might be a valid source. I don't know if Playbill would be considered a reliable source here or not, and it doesn't show his year, just his birthday, January 27th, so perhaps it could be added without his age able to be confirmed, just January 27th.
