Talk:Joseph Genaro

message: There's nothing in the article to suggest he's gay.  LGBT categories need to be supported by evidence.  --  JackofOz (talk) 08:44, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Genaro references his homosexuality in this interview.  I'm not of the opinion that this information need necessarily be integrated into his article, but others who are interested in such an addition may use this interview as a starting point for research.

replies: text: It's not a question of necessarily being interested in the details of his private life.  It's a question of not putting people into categories where there's not an obvious reason why they should be so categorised.  Such a reason needs to form part of the article, and not just exist somewhere on the internet.  Obviously the editor who put him into the LGBT/gay categories knows this about him.  If that editor had said in the article "He is gay" but without a citation, anybody else would have been justified in asking "where's the evidence for that claim?".  Putting a subject into a LGBT category without making any mention of homosexuality in the article is tantamount to making an uncited assertion of the subject's homosexuality.  So, this information does necessarily need to form part of the article.  Otherwise, the LGBT categories will be removed.  --  JackofOz (talk) 22:10, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is completely fair - I see no reason why Genaro should be grouped with LGBT artists.  I merely point to the link to an article where Genaro talks at some depth about this subject in case someone else wants to make a case for its inclusion in the article (e.g., if whoever posted the category was not aware of this interview).  I would not oppose the removal of the LGBT artists category.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 22:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Gay

message: I've overhauled the content of the article to reflect consistent reference to the artist under his birth name and hopefully to convey a more encyclopedic tone overall.  Regarding the issue of sexual preference - there was a sentence in the article referencing homosexuality via the Mark Prindle article, which I hadn't noticed previously.  I left it intact.

replies: text: I missed that sentence too.  Funny, it's right there, large as life.  I'm more than happy with your changes, Colin.  --  JackofOz (talk) 04:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Great!  Glad to hear it, thanks.  I'm also glad to hear I wasn't the only person that missed that line.  Cheers, Colinclarksmith (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
