The feeling of revulsion is mutual.

Picture of the day Michael William Balfe Michael William Balfe (1808–1870) was an Irish composer, best remembered for his operas. Balfe was born in Dublin and grew up on Pitt Street, which was renamed Balfe Street in 1917 in his honour. After moving to Wexford with his family as a child, he began a career as a violinist, moving to London in 1823 after his father's death, later relocating again to Italy and Switzerland, where he married the Hungarian-born singer Lina Roser. Balfe began pursuing an operatic singing career as well as composition, and moved back to London with his family in 1835. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he composed at least 29 operas, almost 250 songs, several cantatas, and other works. He was also a noted conductor, directing Italian opera at Her Majesty's Italian Opera House for seven years, among other conducting posts. His most notable opera is The Bohemian Girl, which continues to be performed. This photograph of Balfe was taken by the studio of the French photographer Nadar; this albumen print was made in 1900.Photograph credit: Nadar; restored by Adam Cuerden ArchiveMore featured pictures...

Living Memory LGBT History Timeline from Trans perspective

A possible resource. Transgender Aging Network has launched a project - Living Memory LGBT History Timeline to assist with aging LGBT folks "It is impossible to tell without asking someone precisely which public events shaped their lives, but knowing what was likely reported in newspapers and discussed at dinner parties during a person’s lifetime may help you understand how their worldview was shaped. To offer insight into the concerns, lifestyles, and belief sets of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who are now 50 and older, the Transgender Aging Network has constructed the following timeline showing how old they would have been when there were critical events or changes in the lives of LGBT people." Starting with the 1920s the events list can be cross-referenced with current GLBT timelines and used as a possible stepping stone to aid Trans projects and awareness.

Feminists for Life potential material

http://www.aboutabortions.com/ quotes to be sourced and used for Feminists for Life article


Jane Roberts, the wife of John Roberts, was a volunteer member of Feminists for Life's board of directors from 1995 to 1999. She has provided legal assistance to the pro-life group and been recognized as a contributor who donated from $1,000 to $2,500. She has written for a newsletter for a pro-life group called 's newsletter, including an article about adoption. Roberts and her husband have adopted two children. Source: Richard A. Serrano, Los Angeles Times Jul 21, 2005


Recognizing that 20 percent of all abortions are performed on college students, Foster launched Feminists for Life's College Outreach Program to provide practical resources for pregnant and parenting students and keeps up a grueling schedule traveling to campuses, where she's remarkably successful in changing students' minds about abortion. Planned Parenthood called Feminists for Life's "Question Abortion" campaign "the newest and most challenging concept in anti-choice student organizing."

Foster sharply criticizes colleges for providing abortions but no other services for pregnant students. "What kind of a choice is that?" she asks. She challenges abortion supporters and pro-lifers to work together to provide real alternatives to women facing crisis pregnancies.

Patricia Heaton, who played Raymond's wife on the hit series Everybody Loves Raymond, is a Feminists for Life celebrity spokesman who loves Foster. She explains that "opponents think group is strong and powerful, because Serrin is strong and powerful. She's the embodiment of what we feel about women. To think that the only thing a woman can do with a child is abort is demeaning to women and undermines everything that the women's movement has been working on since the suffragettes."

Under the banner "Women Deserve Better," Heaton appears in one of Feminists for Life's print ad campaigns that reads: "Every 38 seconds in America a woman lays her body down, feeling forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection that society has failed women. There is a better way."

'It's Not About Me'

By Dan Ewald | Christian Reader Magazine

"She is brazen in her decision to be pro-life in an unabashedly pro-choice town. Patricia is the honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life, a non-religious group that attempts to bring feminism back to its original meaning, which, she says, was about making the world a place where women and children can feel safe and protected and become whom they are to the fullest extent. Since most of her peers connect pro-lifers to a brand of Christian extremism, Patricia appreciates Feminists for Life's method." In my community in Hollywood, FFL is a way to approach the question of feminism and pro-life thinking in a way that people can hear it and don't have a preconceived idea."

Need to find refs of criticism from within LGBT community. Benjiboi

verbiage

James Martin, S.J. the U.S. entertainment industry is of "two minds" about the Catholic Church. He argues that,

On the one hand, film and television producers seem to find Catholicism irresistible. There are a number of reasons for this. First, more than any other Christian denomination, the Catholic Church is supremely visual, and therefore attractive to producers and directors concerned with the visual image. Vestments, monstrances, statues, crucifixes - to say nothing of the symbols of the sacraments - are all things that more "word oriented" Christian denominations have foregone. The Catholic Church, therefore, lends itself perfectly to the visual media of film and television. You can be sure that any movie about the Second Coming or Satan or demonic possession or, for that matter, any sort of irruption of the transcendent into everyday life, will choose the Catholic Church as its venue.Benjiboi

Gays and YouTube

The biggest breakthrough came when gay folks volunteered in droves to help organize and register people for the CNN/YouTube debate held last July at the Citadel in Charleston. "I bet 75% of the people who were manning (the registration) process were members of the community," says Warren Redman-Gress, the current executive director of AFFA.

November's CNN/YouTube Republican debate drew 4.5 million viewers, making it the top-rated debate in cable history.
'We live in a society where there are virtually no repercussions,' said Ms. Min of Us Weekly. The repeat offenders who most often populate our gossip, she said, know full well they can 'get arrested one day, walk a red carpet the next, and still have as many photographers shouting their names and wanting their pictures.'

Still, some celebrity journalists believe that while the explosion of instantaneous news media outlets has made these personalities more accountable for their transgressions, the offenses themselves haven’t necessarily grown more offensive over time.

Heath Ledger

Why did you undo my revision to Heath ledger? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MalcolmGould (talkcontribs) 18:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Because Ledger's name isn't Heathcliff. If I had reverted you it would have be reverted soon enough by someone else for the same reason. Benjiboi 00:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Many sources report it e.g. Internet Movie Database and as a sample from a search Human Archives Organisation. Do a search and you'll find many more. MalcolmGould (talk) 16:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I think you'll find that neither of those is considered a reliable source for that information. From the talk page archives I've found "Ledger himself said in a Vanity Fair article that Heath wasn't short for Heathcliff: (story here)


"Finally sitting down to a plate of meat loaf and potatoes—his curls blowing in the rising wind—he’s asked if Heath is a shortened version of Heathcliff. “No, just Heath. But I do have an older sister named Kathy,” he says. “Well, Kate.”
The subject of an article is general considered an expert on themself. Benjiboi 22:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough - the trouble with most sources, particularly on the internet, is that they mostly quote other sources, and so on, thus perpetuating one original (possibly unreliable) source. MalcolmGould (talk) 18:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. Building articles here takes a bit of research sometimes! Benjiboi 21:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Things are happening over at Misplaced Pages sister project Wikinews. First, Nicholas Turnbull became the first openly-Trans reporter to gain (resounding) accreditation by the Wikinews community. Second, project member David Shankbone is going to Rio de Janeiro at the invitation of the Rio Convention & Visitor's Bureau. Wikinews:Portal:LGBT

Lambda Book Report

Project member Moni3 has been working on the article for Barbara Gittings and noted that the Lambda Literary Foundation used the lead paragraph from Misplaced Pages, skillfully and lovingly written by Moni3, verbatim in the Lambda Literary Pioneers calendar. Moni3 contacted the Lambda Literary Foundation to let them know, and to ask if we could get a little write-up in the next Lambda Book Report. There is a preliminary text you can find here. Feel free to add to it. It should be no longer than 1,000 words, and it needs to be submitted by March 15.

Blank?

I'm assuming this was a mistake...? --Closedmouth (talk) 12:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually no. That was a timeline that was being transcluded into an article thus making editing and verification difficult. There seemed to be no reason fr it as size issues of the article should be handled quite differently. I'm open to finding a better solution but I find that one unhelpful. Benjiboi 21:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Well if you want it gone, you could try prodding it. Blanking is almost always a bad idea. --Closedmouth (talk) 07:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Done. Thank you for the suggestion. Benjiboi 19:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Give me a break, the source itself said she was fired.

The wikipedia entry I linked to describes what happened to her as a firing, "termination of employment."

All you are doing is trying to whitewash what happened by clothing it in a euphemism.

That's probably beneath you. 72.222.181.186 (talk) 07:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The source you cited included the word "canned" in the title but no, did not say she was fired. I've added another reference which states she was. Please familiarize yourself with wikipedia's policies on biographies of living people and neutrality as we are writing an encyclopedia and we should be dispassionate as well as accurate. Please also avoid personalizing this and stick to content. Benjiboi 19:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Women on the Web asap, intl women's day

per this Create Women on the Web. Benjiboi

The wiki definition for fired includes the word canned

Thank you for adding an ADDITIONAL reference to the one I already had used. The one I had used used the word CANNED which the wiki lists as a synonym for FIRED. Your fatuous pretense that you added anything to that is typical wikiposturing. But if it makes you feel better, go for it. 72.222.181.186 (talk) 07:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

As stated previously we are writing an encyclopedia and as such we need to do so with a neutral POV. I've added a reference that covers the assertion so I consider the matter resolved. Please save the personal remarks against me, other editors or even the subjects of articles for other websites. Benjiboi 00:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
