[edit] Bisexuality?

Notable Names Database says he admitted to sleeping with men decades ago. Can he be added to bisexual categories?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.231.249.137 (talk • contribs)

Yes, it would be fair to say he was bisexual, although he wouldn't have called himself that. He was resistant to strict categorization of sexuality.--ShelfSkewed Talk 14:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Is User:Hcoale Howard Coale? And even if so, did he retain the rights to this image or sell them to the New Yorker? It seems more likely the magazine owns the copyright -Nard 20:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I emailed the user to see if he could clarify. His response indicated that he is the artist, and that his recollection is that he drew the image for the New Yorker, but they ended up not using it. I will see if he will send an email to OTRS.--Kubigula (talk) 05:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Follow up. I've received no further response from the user. So, at this point we have a user who says he is Howard Coale and that he has the legal right to license the picture as he has. My feeling is that we accept that barring any evidence to the contrary. I'd be happy to forward the email to OTRS if that would help.--Kubigula (talk) 20:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
