Talk:Franco Zeffirelli

message: I removed the statement about Z. being the first Italian citizen to be awarded an honorary British knighthood.  A look down the List of honorary British Knights shows at least the following preceded him:
* Guglielmo Marconi
* Benito Mussolini
* Arnaldo Momigliano
* Luigi Cadorna
* Filippo de Filippi
* and three Italian kings.  JackofOz 07:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Average Earthman, I think the issue is not whether people like Zeffirelli are entitled to use KBE, because they are.  It's whether Wikipedia Manual of Style says that's the style we use in our biographies.  Being an Italian citizen, Z would not generally be called "Franco Zeffirelli KBE", so the shifting carpet of opinion seems to be saying that we don't show honorary postnominals.

text: Ah, I'd misunderstood - I'd taken the deletion comment as meaning that non-UK citizens weren't entitled to call themselves by the KBE, rather than they don't tend to use them so we shouldn't either. Average Earthman 13:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone should add the information about Zeffirelli's homosexuality and his paradoxal opposition to gay rights.

replies: text: He never opposed gay rights. He opposed what he considered the 'carnivalesque' side of the gay movement, that's different. He just culturally compared his Hellenistic homosexuality to the contemporary gay movement, that he didn't appreciate –  Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 12:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

message: He' s listed among the pro-life celebrities, however there' s no information or external link whatsoever about his position on this subject. I believe he should be removed from the list, unless someone can provide a source.
If he's an MP from Forza Italia one would assume that he hews to a decidedly more conservative, traditional position on the subject, no?
