Category talk:Bisexual musicians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Musicians' alleged bisexuality should be subject to the same verification criteria as any other information. For a lot of the people listed here, there is no evidence presented whatsoever that they're bisexual. Lyrics don't count: musicians often write in character.

[edit] Pete Doherty/Carl Barat
Why are Carl Barat and Pete Doherty on this page? Neither of them are bisexual, they're both straight.
Both are openly bisexual. And please don't say "but they have girlfriends". A bisexual can have a relationship with EITHER gender. Billie Holiday married a man, Holly Near had lesbian relationships in the '70s but currently cohabitates with a man, Cole Porter married a woman, Pink is engaged to a man, etc.
I thought everyone knew they were bisexual. Especially after Pete Doherty's ex-girlfriend told the Mirror of their numerous threesomes.

Also, whether it was for effect or not, Carl Barât and Pete Doherty used to open-mouth kiss onstage when they were in the Libertines.
[edit] Christina Aguilera
The article on this singer clearly states that the only source for this "fact" is a tabloid of questionable accuracy. Even though she admits to experimentation, that doesn't necessarily equal bisexuality. Should she really be included here? Beginning 22:28, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Any chance of CRITERIA?
The truth is that I dislike categories like this, because they almost always violate WP:POV, [WP:NOR]] and WP:V. This one, like some similar ones, is terribly subjective, but is made even worse by absence of any description of who should be included.
For example, I added some quotations on the Talk:David Bowie page where Bowie describes himself as formerly being a "closet heterosexual." If we take his most recent statement, he should be excluded from this category. Unless he made an even more recent statement I don't know about... Of course, if we take other earlier statements by Bowie, he should be included. So what counts? The one that is more "believable"? Any statement at any point? The most recent statement? In the absence of a statement by the musician her/himself, what might count? Any gossip column anywhere? A "reliable" source? The corresponding WP article? Etc?
At the least, the page ought to provide some guidelines for editors to know whether or not to add a given musician, not just leave it to every editor's guess about "what might this category mean". Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:28, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dannii Minogue
I don't think this singer is Bisexual.
She might have done some leude things with a women but that doesn't make her bisexual.
[edit] Freddie Mercury

[edit] RE freddie Mercury
He was gay not Bisexual. lol
Sean Combs is bi?
Read the Freddie Mercury article. He's bi.
How could you justify Sean Combs name? Did you ask him? I bet when he finds out he'll sue the pants off of you!
[edit] Willa Ford & Madonna
Madonna should be added. I also think Willa Ford, especially due to some of her quotes, very point blank, so I think both should be added.
According to nndb, and interviews both Kurt Cobain and Pete Townshend are bisexual
