'''Claudia Ann Christian''' (born [[August 10]], [[1965]]) is an [[United States|American]] actress, writer, singer, musician, and director.

==Biography==
I unfortunately do nto have the time to devote to WP as I used to. But after searchign the article, I have noticed it has a 99 positive spin, with zero little mention of his behavioral problems and his often Homophobic coments. Thought I would bring it to the projects attentiona dn see if anyone wants to run with it.

Christian was born in [[Glendale, California]]. She is most famous for her role as Commander [[Susan Ivanova]] on the [[science fiction]] [[television]] series ''[[Babylon 5]]''. She left the series unexpectedly following the fourth season, when contract negotiations for the fifth and final season &mdash; aggravated by the possibility that there would not be one &mdash; broke down.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/misc/cc-leave.html|
:Do you have any reliable sources that these comments are notable? It doesn't seem too shocking the an American footballer would have said some things but they need to rise to a level they are reported.

== Newspapers v. WP:LGBT ==
work=The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5|
author=Joe M. Straczynski, Claudia Christian (quoted from correspondence)}}</ref> (Her appearance in the series finale was filmed during the fourth season.) Before ''Babylon 5'', Christian was known for her feature film roles as a [[stripper]] possessed by an alien serial killer in ''[[The Hidden]]'' (1987), a police department [[psychologist]] Susan Riley in ''[[Maniac Cop 2]]'' and as model Hexina in ''[[Hexed]]'' (1993). She posed nude for ''[[Playboy Magazine]]'' in October 1999.


She appeared in two episodes of [[Freaks and Geeks]] in 2000. In 2004, she returned to the live stage (and to [[Laguna Beach]], California, where she had attended high school), starring in the U.S. Premiere of [[Michael Weller's]] play ''[[What the Night Is For]]'', with Kip Gilman, directed by [[Richard Stein]], at the [[Laguna Playhouse]]. Her most recent work is in the [[BBC]] comedy series, ''[[Broken News]]'' in 2005. She also plays Janine Foster, mother of [[Peri Brown]], in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' audio drama "[[The Reaping (Doctor Who audio)|The Reaping]]", produced by [[Big Finish Productions]] released in the UK in September 2006.
The following was in an email sent to several gay writers and newspapers, written by a man named Billy Glover. I got hold of it by magic. Though he seems a bit cranky, he does have some points. I think it has food for thought. Discuss? --[[User:Moni3|Moni3]] ([[User talk:Moni3|talk]]) 17:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


She appeared in a new play called ''Killing Time'' at the [[Edinburgh Fringe|Edinburgh Fringe Festival]] in Scotland 2nd-23rd of August 2006.
I have been looking at journalists and the media since about 1960. And I have yet to find the journalists as a group or individually doing even a minimally good job of covering most aspects of homosexuality. As they have done about Britney, or gay marriage and now seem to be doing on trans issues, as to compensate for failure to attack HRC etc because of shouting by a small segment of the population, they mostly have ignored the major issues we have faced. They ignored [[Don Slater]], continue to never mention [[ONE, Inc.|ONE]], which was the largest organization, and for some time the only publication, because of two things-ONE did not fit the popular stereotype of "gay," and we were not young and cute and they didn't agree with our positions.


==Filmography: TV and movies==
[[Hal Call]] was attacked for going into porn, but we got no support for NOT going into porn. We picketed the Los Angeles Times and were ignored-except that the paper then changed its policy which is what we wanted. Our Motorcade, even though for once the New York Times actually did a good article-written by Peter Bart, now in Hollywood at Variety I think-but no one else did, not even the gay media.

===Director===
Don Slater was doing the military issue long before anyone else, he was in court, won cases, even though the policy didn't change, but his work was ignored, except for a brief mention, mostly in error, in [[Randy Shilts]] book. I was on Regis Philbin's tv talk show on the issue, and he was rude and there was no coverage of this in the media, as there was no coverage of [[Harry Hay]] and [[John Burnside]]'s appearance on other tv shows.

As I understand it, one of the two men whose legal case got rid of the sodomy laws ([[Lawrence v. Texas|Lawrence vs Texas]]) died in Houston, ignored and unhonored. Now I want g/l publications to sell. But how many covers and long articles can we have on non-gay celebrities while we ignore the people who have DONE the work that changed this nation for homosexual citizens?

==Quotes==
Do young homosexual men and women ever hear of actual homosexuals who have worked for change? Instead they are given as "inspirationals" young, cute, girls and boys who know nothing on the subject, do nothing for the cause,
*"Cooking is great, love is grand, but souffles fall and lovers come and go. But you can always depend on a book!"
but look good.
*"Apparently I've been typecast in science fiction: I'm a Russian bisexual telepathic Jew."


==References==
Who is working to try to get academia to use homosexual educators who KNOW the subject and should be teaching classes instead of some hacks who just are handed the course to fill a pc duty to say they have "done" the gay thing? Why are universities allowed to give their students less than the best education on this subject?
{{reflist}}


==External links==
I gather there is a convention of g/l journalists meeting as I write. Who are they hearing from? Is [[Frank Kameny]] being heard? Who is speaking for our cause? What we will hear are attacks on [[Human Rights Campaign|HRC]] by trans people who came out of the closet, if they have, a year or so ago and have done nothing on their own but want to become leaders and take over existing g/l organizations instead of taking time to learn about life.

Or we will hear from Ellen and Elton. As if they can give much insight as to how to live as an average homosexual. And as if they actually did much work to change laws and attitudes.

I wait to hear some coverage of people and groups in our community/movement that are daily working yet are never heard from yet are the ones who actually are making the changes.
[[fr:Claudia Christian]]

[[no:Claudia Christian]]
There is what could be a major event in New Orleans on Sep. 3d, (manystoriesonevoice.org) of religious homosexuals. Has any media covered this? Has any publication ever covered a meeting of the [[Seventh Day Adventist Kinship]] (g/l) group? How are the g/l [[Front Runners|Front Runner]] groups doing? Maybe somewhere on a website I don't know about there are listings that young people can find of groups they might want to know about, but do they know about them?
[[pt:Claudia Christian]]

[[ru:Кристиан, Клаудия]]
Just listing a name and phone number of some groups iknsmall print in the back of a g/l newspaperis not "serving" the community/movement. And why do we need g/l journalists if most of the articles we see are in general publications. As I've said many times before-I see the same travel news in g/l publications I see in general travel publications-so homosexual travelers have no need to buy a "gay" travel magazine that hs the samelistings-museums, Broadway plays, etc.
[[fi:Claudia Christian]]

It seems that gay bars are not growing in number, yet that is the major coverage many g/l papers give us. And page of reviews of movies with no gay content.

And i the midst of all he fawning over gay marriage-with a brief mention of divorce-such as the two women who are filing for divorce 3 days after they married-is there any article on the g/l community that is NOT interested in
marriage-such as the [[Alternative to Marriage Project]]?

One or two major g/l publications have very little gay news but lots of ads for million dollar homes and $40,000 cars and expensive clothes, which means the average homosexual, or average American will ave no interest in the
publication.

And when was the last time you saw a ""quote" in the columns of someone who is NOT a celebrity, mostly non-gay celebrities are quoted, with silly hings such as,"Oh, Ilike my gay fans." Howinsulting. Is that what our community
is desperate for, approval of celebrities?

There are probably gay artists, musicians, actors,that I have ever heard of, because all I read about in the g/ papers are the current non-gay people. Perhaps if they are "popular" in the gay clubs that is because they are the ones "celebrated" n the gay press. The general media keeps telling us that they give us what we want, and that ratings confirm this-I don't believe it-we have to take what they give us.

But a new day is coming, with internet, blogs, etc so that they will no longer be the deciders. Perhaps they will give us a column of good blog sites, gay websites-such as the new outhistory.org, which will give balanced information and resources and news.

I just declined a speedy delete on this. Is this a notable book company? If not, let me know, I'll delete it. Thanks!

:In 15 minutes, I searched Lexis Nexis, and Lambda Book Report (magazine for LGBT writers) for news of Bold Strokes, and found very minimal information. Not more than the site itself has for information. No 3rd party news. The information may be incorporated into [[Radclyffe]]'s article. But in comparison to a more groundbreaking company such as [[Naiad Press]], I can't see how newsworthy the company is. Though some may argue that any publishing company dedicated to LGBT titles is newsworthy. --[[User:Moni3|Moni3]] ([[User talk:Moni3|talk]]) 19:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

== Update on LGBT tag at [[Talk:Charlie Crist]] ==

After Keeper's wonderful diplomatic work, one of the editors who had previously objected to the project tag on Charlie Crist and Larry Craig [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Charlie_Crist&diff=233213579&oldid=230368377 re-added the tag] to Charlie Crist. Another editor, who looking at the tag page seems now to be clearly in the consensus minority, objected and remove the tag under the reasons of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Charlie_Crist&diff=233281590&oldid=233281133 Delete LGBT project tag because (1) tag included no reason for why this article is relevant to the project; (2) unclear whether the Project ever made the decision to tag the article.] While reason #1 has been talked to death. I think reason #2 can be dispelled quite clearly if some of the folks from LGBT who are interested in maintaining accuracy and standards in the Charlie Crist came over to the talk page and note that interest. It still seems like an uphill battle with the LGBT needing to explain every little step and not having the freedom to be treated like other Wiki-projects, but it looks like progress is being made-one baby step at a time.

== Slang pages ==

I've just noticed that our slang pages could use a bit of standardizing...

Would anyone object if we changed the following pages to be along the lines of "Word (slang)"? That would fall in line with some of the other slang terms on Wikipedia, and would satisfy my need for organization :) Furthermore, the "gay" in the title is unnecessary - none of these are found in other types of slang.

<blockquote>{{div col |cols=3}}
* [[Bear (gay slang)]]

* [[Glory hole (sexual)]]
* [[Queen (gay slang)]]
* [[Trade (gay slang)]]

:I object. Many of these are gay slang. When I rewrote [[fruit (slang)]], for instance, the sources showed that ''fruit'' had been used as slang but that most uses now refer to LGBT people, however the article addresses all uses of ''fruit'' as slang and allows for more to be added. Most of these articles are only about the gay slang aspects. For instance, I know ''bear'' has been used as slang outside of gay cultures but the article really is about just the gay context. If ''bird'' was notable as Italian slang, for instance, I would support [[bird (Italian slang)]]. Part of LGBT history is we have entire languages, codes and signs as a means of survival. I don't think there is a clean solution to all of these. ''Glory hole'' is sexual slang not just slang and not just gay slang. ''Down-low'' is about MSM and also isn't just slang or gay slang.

::I totally hear what you're saying, Benji.

:::On the surface that sounds logical, the problem comes when [[bear (gay slang)]] becomes just ''bear (slang)'' and the article morphs into every slang use of bear - per the title. In the case of [[bear (gay slang)]] it really is specialized enough to warrant that gay bonus tag. I previously cited [[fruit (slang)]] which, I think, is more of an exception. Sources showed that usages nearly universally became used for LGBT people so the article encompasses all slang uses. That's not going to be true with all these articles. And some of those words do have other slang articles already so it's not going to be neat and clean:

:::These to me should remain as gay slang, there are non-LGBT slang uses that, IMHO, would compromise the article(s) without the ''gay'' tag:
:::* [[Bear (gay slang)]]
:::* [[Chaser (gay slang)]]
:::* [[Chicken (gay slang)]]
:::* [[Queen (gay slang)]]
:::* [[Trade (gay slang)]]
:::* [[Troll (gay slang)]]
:::* [[Twink (gay slang)]]

:::This one I'm unsure as it's about gainers and various folks who are in teh chub community and i haven't looked into what the sources support:
:::* [[Chub (gay slang)]]

:::This one I'm unsure as I haven't looked into what the sources support:
:::* [[Chickenhawk (sexuality)]]

:::This one I think could stay as down-low (MSM) as it's a well-known slang term but the article was high-jacked and sliced up and I left it in disgust so it's only about MSM:
:::* [[Down-low (MSM)]]

:::This one I think should stay as [[Glory hole (sexual)]] as it's the sexual slang term as opposed to the many other terms which are cited in part of the history section:

:::I'm curious how adding non-gay-context information to an article on slang "compromises" the article and/or makes it not "neat and clean"? That's why we edit, right?

:::::To address SatyrTN, [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (precision)]] would seem to suggest there is some wiggle room here, in essence we should be precise in titling an article. An article about ''bear'' as gay slang is quite different than an article about ''bear'' as slang (all usages). Although your offer to police and start new articles when non-gay usage starts to creep in sounds like a great idea my experience is that, more likely, the article will get rewritten, perhaps slowly, and it will be a long time until the non-gay content becomes large enough, if ever, to become its own article thus being deleted or re-merged putting us back to step one.
:::::Zuejay, it's similar to what I write above, an article about ''bear'' as gay slang is quite different than an article about ''bear'' as slang (all usages). I am advocating that we work to make the gay slang articles neat, clean and comprehensive to being about the gay slang usages. If someone wants to build an article about ''all'' the slang usages of those words and link a section to the specific gay slang article within them then fine. I feel that each of these articles has plenty of potential without delving into all the other slang uses of those terms - handled on a case by case basis there is certainly room to adapt. When I was rewriting [[fruit (slang)]] that was a question - is there a need, material for "fruit (slang)" and "fruit (gay slang)". In ''that'' case ''fruit'' as slang all pointed towards gay men/LGBT people so it was a non-issue. ''Twink'' for instance has several slang usages and were the article not "(gay slang)" and just "(slang)" there's little reason the flood of online gamers wouldn't start infiltrating to ensure their usage of twink as slang was well represented - that is what I meant by "compromise the article". In practice we have a deluxe hatnote on [[twink (gay slang)]] just to help address this.
:::::Frankly if "bear (gay slang)" is renamed to "bear (slang)" why wouldn't the article completely change focus about every slang usage of ''bear'' rather than focusing on the LGBT bear subculture? I couldn't defend it if that's what the article is called.

::::::I'm sorry to bring this back up, but I'm still concerned we're not following Wikipedia guidelines, and we're sidelining ourselves in the process. For instance, I have no clue what another slang meaning of "bear" might be. There is nothing relevant on [[Bear (disambiguation)]] (and ours isn't there either). By sticking with the dab "gay slang", we're marginalizing ourselves unnecessarily. By changing it to "slang", the article will be taking a more prominent role in Wikipedia, and will be following WP guidelines.

:::::::The problem isn't you or I, IMHO, but the myriad of knuckleheads who already add nonsense into articles.

: I also oppose changing the slangs from gay slang to slang. In fact, some of them should be LGBT slang...the opening sentence is Bear says "a subculture in the gay/bisexual male communities". All the ones that apply to gay men, would also apply to bi men, I'm pretty sure. Why can't a twink refer to a bi man? It does in my book, therefore they should be changed to LGBT slang. <font face="papyrus">[[User:Ctjf83|'''<font color="#ff0000">C</font><font color="#ff6600">t</font><font color="#ffff00">j</font><font color="#009900">f</font><font color="#0000ff">8</font><font color="#6600cc">3</font>''']][[User Talk:Ctjf83|Talk]]</font> 23:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

::::There are plenty of lesbian and transgender slang terms as well but I do agree with SatyrTN that trying to be more cohesive is probably a good idea. I gave up on [[down-low (MSM)]] which has been muddled and incorrectly split, IMHO, and should be just "down-low" as the MSM slang, as it's now incorrectly stating actually originated from black and youth cultures. And the MSM is just amongst the most well-known usage for some groups. It's still used in many contexts and MSM is just one. To Ctjf83, my hunch is we should either move all or none and I would favor none as these all chiefly have been gay usages and have been more adopted by other groups within and outside LGBT communities. I would support "sexual slang" for both ''Gloryhole'' and ''Chickenhawk''.

Yo,

I just created an article on [[Minority Sexual and Gender Identity]], or MSGI, which is the next acronym on from LGBT. I'm having problems finding academic references to it though - it seems to be in semi-common usage around LGBT politics (especially queer politics), but I can't find any written references.

:Does it have to be that phrase exactly? If you break the terms in half, you can make one article that incorporates [[sexual minority]] (a stub) and, maybe, [[gender variance]] (a stub). You could look at [[gender identity]] and [[sexual identity]] for additional info that could be worked in, but those look like pretty solid articles by themselves. Also, consider taking a look at [[Minority#Gender_and_sexual_minorities]]. Is this, baisically, a culturally-inspired term? It didn't take long (less than 1/2 hour) for someone to nail this new article with a delete tag based on a lack of Google hits. <b><i><font face="Times New Roman" color="darkblue">[[User:Zuejay|Zue]]</font></i><font face="Times New Roman" color="blue">[[Special:Contributions/Zuejay|Jay]]</font><small> ([[User talk:Zuejay|talk]])</small></b> 14:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

== Newsletter ==

Heya. A newsletter should have been sent out by now for August, obviously. I think this is part of my reaction to Jeffpw's passing. I thought it had to be addressed in the next issue, and I am unable to advance farther than that. Every time I think about the newsletter I enter a mental void that has me contently staring at a blank wall instead of turning around to confront sadness or anger. So - I'm not slacking... I'm avoiding. If someone who is better emotionally equipped than I would like to do the next one, please feel free. Maybe just to kick start me. --[[User:Moni3|Moni3]] ([[User talk:Moni3|talk]]) 16:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

== LGBT Democrats ==

I'm concerned about the {{lcs|LGBT Democrats (United States)}}. On the one hand, it's the rule, not the exception. In other words, it's *much* more notable that someone is a part of the Republican party and LGBT. Also, why is it notable what party affiliation someone LGBT has? And finally, I haven't researched it, but party affiliation is probably a bit difficult to determine with a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] unless they're a politician, in which case they're already covered by [[:Category:LGBT politicians]]. Thoughts? CfD? -- <span style="background: #EECCFF;">[[User:SatyrTN|SatyrTN]] <small>([[User talk:SatyrTN|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/SatyrTN|contribs]])</small></span> 15:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

*I created [[:Category:LGBT Democrats (United States)]] because there was also a [[:Category:LGBT Republicans (United States)]] and that way there would be a category for both.

== FYI: Banned 'Gay Pornography vandal' is back ==

You should all be warned that the banned “[[Wikipedia:List of banned users|Gay Pornography vandal]]” (ban date: March 6, 2008) is back on Wikipedia on [[User:David_Shankbone/72.76#Third_IP_range_beginning_in_September.3B_primarily_Commons|a different IP range]]. Although he still has access to his old IP range, he has begun using [[User:David_Shankbone/72.76#Second_IP_range|multiple IP ranges]]. Commons has [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Vandalism#Ongoing_David_Shankbone_harrassment_-_page_protection_needed been wrestling] with the issue for awhile.

Aside from [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alison&diff=prev&oldid=235825966 death threats] and his [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADavid_Shankbone&diff=1176976&oldid=1176844 usual boogedy-boogedy], he is also back to working on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pornographic_film&diff=235686909&oldid=235684224 porn articles], specifically, his vendetta [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Lucas_(director)&diff=next&oldid=238154031 with Michael Lucas], which spread to me. It also spurred the creation of new meta tools to deal with cyberstalking.

This is the range he is working in currently. Can someone please softprotect that article ([[Michael Lucas (director)]]) for a month. There is a long, voluminous, and threat-laden history to this page and its talk page. I suggest the longer soft-protect, the better.

As everyone remembers, this person's boundless anger quickly transfers to other people, and disrupts the incident board endlessly with complaints from multiple editors.

Claudia Ann Christian (born August 10, 1965) is an American actress, writer, singer, musician, and director.

Biography

Christian was born in Glendale, California. She is most famous for her role as Commander Susan Ivanova on the science fiction television series Babylon 5. She left the series unexpectedly following the fourth season, when contract negotiations for the fifth and final season — aggravated by the possibility that there would not be one — broke down.[1] (Her appearance in the series finale was filmed during the fourth season.) Before Babylon 5, Christian was known for her feature film roles as a stripper possessed by an alien serial killer in The Hidden (1987), a police department psychologist Susan Riley in Maniac Cop 2 and as model Hexina in Hexed (1993). She posed nude for Playboy Magazine in October 1999.

She appeared in two episodes of Freaks and Geeks in 2000. In 2004, she returned to the live stage (and to Laguna Beach, California, where she had attended high school), starring in the U.S. Premiere of Michael Weller's play What the Night Is For, with Kip Gilman, directed by Richard Stein, at the Laguna Playhouse. Her most recent work is in the BBC comedy series, Broken News in 2005. She also plays Janine Foster, mother of Peri Brown, in the Doctor Who audio drama "The Reaping", produced by Big Finish Productions released in the UK in September 2006.

She appeared in a new play called Killing Time at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland 2nd-23rd of August 2006.
