Talk:Gene Robinson

message: In the section on Gene Robinson's ordination, citation #14 (Gledhill, London:The Times 2009) states that Barbara Harris had to wear a bulletproof vest at her ordination. The linked article does state this. However, Barbara Harris' own wikipedia article states that she was urged to wear a b-p vest, but refused. An offline Wall Street Journal article is cited.
Given the ambiguity, I would be inclined to excise the entire sentence: "The security was strong: just as Barbara Harris had to wear a bullet-proof vest at her consecration,[14] Robinson was showing his bullet-proof vest to Harris herself." I would not consider the Gledhill reference to be reliable. Is there a reliable citation about Robinson showing Harris that he was wearing a vest? Ideally, there should be a separate citation found for this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tensegrity (talk • contribs) 17:32, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The documentary "Love Free or Die" about Gene Robinson is being screened in the UK at the moment (screened in the USA in January) but has yet to be mentioned in the article. The documentary covers key recent events surrounding recent changes in church policy as well as supporting interviews relating to his personal life (such as the threats he received as mentioned in the article), the Obama speech (2009) and his experience visiting the UK in 2008. The documentary itself seems a useful reference and has sufficient impact to be worth mentioning in the After ordination section. I have taken the initiative to email the production company to ask if they would be interested in releasing any of the stills, on a free release, to be available on Wikipedia Commons.

thread_title:  Documentary "Live free or die" about Gene Robinson 

message: The article states that the physician who attended Robinson's birth asked for a name for the death certificate as well as the birth certificate.  This seems highly unlikely.  If the doctor were only given a name for the birth certificate, wouldn't he use the same name for a death certificate?  Does a person ordinarily change his name when he dies?  Let's see a citation for this story.John Paul Parks (talk) 21:53, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In his interview with Terry Gross on WHYY's Fresh Air (http://www.npr.org/2013/01/14/169066917/retired-bishop-gene-robinson-on-being-gay-and-loving-god), Robinson states that the doctors told his father "your newborn son is definitely going to die and we need a name for his birth and death certificates." My take on the article is that this statement makes sense and is accurate. Jmanbeck (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
