Talk:Siegfried Wagner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This - a review of a book by F. Spotts- may be a citation for the claim that Siegfried had an illegitimate son, Walter Aign (1901-77) but it is subscription access for people at participating institutions. (Alternatively, go to the article it reprints, Cambridge Opera Journal, volume 7 no. 3, Nov. 1995, pp 277-84. I have not read it yet, but will attempt to soon, since I do belong to a participating university.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Homosexual?
It seems to me that a man who managed to father five children by two different women couldn't have been completely homosexual. I think a classification of "bisexual" would be more appropriate here.
- It seems to me you're applying definitions learned in one time and place to another. In the Germany in which Siegfried Wagner lived, he could have been prosecuted and jailed for being homosexual, regardless of the number of children he had. - Nunh-huh 15:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
