who many suspect may have been her lover too
Please provide support for this claim. The article is not encyclopedic without some backup. --Ed Poor
Actually, Ed, I don't see what the problem is. It does not state that they were lovers. It says "many" followed by "suspect" followed by "may have been." Yes, there were people who suspected it. They were living together, and they both committed suicide in strange circumstances. Were they? I am not prepared to make that claim, but any research on the topic will bring up that possible claim. Danny
I think this is unsubstantiated although probably considered correct. An oft-cited reason for their suicide was the financial failure of the home for autistic children which she founded. user:sjc
Hi. They were lovers, actually it is not a secret. They suicided together and rest into the same grave. But a question : what is this story about a children school ? I actualy never heard about that - I didn't read the book about "soeur sourire"... (84.4.4.232 Jean-no, from the french wiki)
[edit] Jesus and John Lennon
What is the reference to agreeing "with what John Lennon said about Jesus in 1966" ? What did he say? TEF
John Lennon said "The Beatles were more pouplar than Jesus" (Which may or may not of been used out of context by a reporter). This caused a great contravesy and many riots, boycotts, and protests against The Beatles especally by Conservative Christians in the Southern United States. Many radio stations banned thier music and Churches held burning their records and merchindise. John, somewhat ashamed of what he said, apologized a little while after. The Beatles also stopped giving public preformences, partly in fear of their safety.--Hailey 13:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reference to the lover
The Curse of the Christmas Single, from the Guardian - David Gerard 12:03, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what it means to be "lesbian" but shouldn't the subject use the word to identify themselves? This article [1] says she admits "love and attraction" for her longtime companion, but was "unable to face her own (sexuality)". If you don't admit it I can't see how you could be labeled as one. I've said my peace.Tstrobaugh 12:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
What you said was a piece. A piece of what? Indeed. Peace.
I agree there's no need to label her as "lesbian", even if she was. But she was clearly "in love" with the woman she lived with, she killed herself with, she was burried with. Therefore, I don't see any reason not calling her and Annie Pécher "lovers".
Incidently, I know they worked in a school for autistic children, but never heard she founded that school. ??
