[edit] Orientation
The article makes reference to Chasing Amy being based upon Kevin Smith's real-life relationship with Adams. This strongly implied that she is a lesbian, but I did a little checking and instead found a quote on a third-party website attributed to Planet Out.com in which she says she's bisexual, so to be fair I put this in the article. I tried to find a direct link within PlanetOut but was unsuccessful. If someone can find a more directly attributed quote source, please replace the link. 23skidoo 15:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to remove it, because she has stated it's a rumor, and completely unfounded. Now I don't want to be unfair to anybody here, but the truth is the truth, whatever that may be. We have conflicting sources, so the best thing to do would be just sidestep the orientation issue, even if we are certain.[1] Aaрон Кинни (t) 01:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- As long as there's a cited source to the refuting of the rumor (which there is), that's fine by me. However I noticed (I haven't been to this article for awhile) that it no longer says Chasing Amy was based upon Smith's relationship with Adams, which seems to contradict the DVD release. In fact there's no reference to Smith and Adams having a relationship of any kind ... has this also been refuted? 23skidoo 16:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Did anyone actually read the article cited there? This is the Adams quote from it: "In her early 20s, Adams herself says, "I'm bisexual, and I realized that when I went to Bali where the culture there is very bisexual, and it is the first time I was very attracted to women. I have a lot of friends who are [that way]; in fact, most."
- Tell me in what way this is not Adams saying that she is bisexual.71.226.209.15 03:54, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Huh, never mind -- it looks like she's been back and forth on this. Corrected the citation, though. 71.226.209.15 04:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birth year
If she was "born 1968-01-09 in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA," then why is there a cross-reference at the bottom of the page to "1971 births"? -DerbertBeak 23:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Birthday?
This says 1968. This site [2] says 1971. So who is correct now? Hbdragon88 07:22, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting. I did a Google search and found an almost equal number of pages given both dates -- in fact the Wikimirror Answers.com gives BOTH dates for some reason. And some pages say her birthday is on Jan. 6, not 9. I could find no official site to confirm either date, so it might be necessary to put both in the rticle. I'm going to go ahead and do so for now, pending any sort of confirmation. 23skidoo 15:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

- If it's in doubt, I think it's better to just leave it out altogether. Hbdragon88 21:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Both dates should be mentioned, otherwise someone might just think the information is missing and add it from the first source they say, whether it be 1968 or 1971. 23skidoo 22:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
