[edit]

This isn't an encyclopedia article, it's an advertisement.74.72.23.106 (talk) 19:27, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you find some creditable criticism that we can incorporate? Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 18:19, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added this but it has been deleted. I find it interesting and as close to critical as I can find. It speaks to ZW's notoriety:
In June 2012, Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization for Marriage referred to the Zach Wahls effect: the impression that the public has about gay parenting "are being formed by real or media generated images of what this phenomenon looks like that are not very similar to what is happening 'out there.'"[1]
  1. ^ Gallagher, Maggie (June 12, 2012). "The Best or the Worst of All Possible Gay-Parenting Studies?". National Review. Retrieved July 23, 2012. She was drawing a parallel with the Murphy Brown effect that created the public image of a single mother circa 1990.

Then you need to continue and, either paraphrase the main points made in the blog, or, indicate that you are quoting, and include Maggie Gallagher's words verbatum. Sincerely, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 06:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This was a question of coding. Nothing else. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:32, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Xavier talk

[edit]

This has proved hard to document:

He had previously spoken at one other non-secular school, Xavier University, another Jesuit institution.[citation needed]

You can find sources online announcing that he will appear and even a budget approved for his visit. But nothing that says the event went off as planned. So I'll leave it here for now. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:32, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

American LGBTQ+ activist

[edit]

The introduction currently refers to to Wahls as an "American LGBTQ+ activist", which I think can easily be misread as saying that he is LGBTQ+ himself... and unless the "+" now includes the straight, cisgendered category that we quite him as being in, this is incorrect. May I suggest "LGBTQ-rights activist"? (We can get into the question of whether it should be LGTBQ+-rights, but visually that's a nightmare!) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 16:24, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
