Don Amador
[edit]
Don Amador and Harvey Milk
- ... that Don Amador (pictured) in the movie Milk is portrayed by his friend Cleve Jones, while Jones is portrayed by Emile Hirsch? Source: "Emile Hirsch is playing Jones, who created the AIDS quilt in the 1980s, in the film. Jones did shoot a cameo role as Don Amador, another friend of Harvey's who helped him fight an anti-gay ballot measure in the 1970s, Tuesday on a sound stage on Treasure Island" ([1])

New enough (created Sept 13), long enough (2,903 char.). In terms of neutrality, the line "Among the Gay History he was teaching were the fact that David of the Old Testament, Alexander the Great, Michelangelo Buonarotti and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky were gays" strikes me as misrepresenting the source, that "Amador digs back into history, claiming such figures as Alexander the Great, David of the Old Testament, Michelangelo and Tchaikovsky as gays" (emphasis mine). Calling it a fact in the article misrepresents the source and also, in some cases, the mainstream academic view, so "fact" may not be the best word there. The article is pretty well-cited throughout although the line "As of 2010, Tony Karnes was living in Long Beach, California, with his long-time partner Elliott J. Winston." needs a source since it's referring to a living person (or someone I assume is still alive). I'm also a little wary about some of the similarities between the Amador article and the People article, visible here, namely "an ecumenical council project in Boston", and "backed a 1776 Virginia bill to make homosexuality punishable by castration" which is very similar to the People article's line "backed a 1776 Virginia bill that would have made homosexuality punishable by castration". Hook is short enough, definitely interesting, cited to and in ref 1. QPQ done, no image included although you could definitely use one of the ones from the article if you were interested. tldr: Looks mostly good; you need one more source for that Karnes/Winston line and to rewrite the historical figures line and the close paraphrasing lines. Ping me when you do, Elisa.rolle! Good work on this article! BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 14:58, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Bobamnertiopsis I should have addressed those point. And I included the picture of Amador and Milk.Elisa.rolle (talk) 15:17, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Looks better now. I'm going to make a few copyedits to the page but it's good to go for me! Accompanying image is also good to go. BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 16:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
