- Thank you VERY much. At the time I was expanding this article, I was not very adept at that. Your aid is appreciated.Lisapollison 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] vandalism
I have replaced the category of LGBT people from France that was removed by an editor asserting that boursicot is not gay. In the book on the subject cited in the article and in numerous news articles, Boursicot self-identifies as either Gay or Bisexual and continues to live with the boyfriend mentioned in the book. Considering this fact, the category is wholly appropriate and potentially of use to other editors looking to improve LGBT articles on Wikipedia.
It has been my experience that category tags relating to LGBT people are often the subject of revert wars and vandalism by editors who often assert that the category is a "labelling" or a "slander" even when the fact is widely acknowledged and not in dispute. Here it seems to be a misreading of the facts. I will go back to the book and find specific page cites and some quotes from Boursicot on the matter. He is unashamed of his relationships with men ,women or men posing as women. He cooperated fully with the book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the case. If you can believe that the story is even more convoluted than the article dares get into. Affairs of the heart are often complicated.Lisapollison 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
