The opera concerns some aspects of the real-life assassination of Gustav III, King of Sweden. Its libretto was used as the original basis for Giuseppe Verdi's later Un ballo in maschera, though Italian censorship forced numerous changes to that version.Set design credit: Pierre-Luc-Charles Cicéri; restored by Adam Cuerden

The illusion of Kate Moss is an art piece first shown at the conclusion of the Alexander McQueen runway show The Widows of Culloden (Autumn/Winter 2006). It consists of a short film of English model Kate Moss dancing slowly while wearing a long, billowing gown of white chiffon, projected life-size within a glass pyramid in the centre of the show's catwalk. Although sometimes referred to as a hologram, the illusion was made using a 19th-century theatre technique called Pepper's ghost. McQueen conceived the illusion as a gesture of support for Moss; she was a close friend of his and was embroiled in a drug-related scandal at the time of the Widows show. It is regarded by many critics as the highlight of the Widows runway show, and it has been the subject of a great deal of academic analysis, particularly as a wedding dress and as a memento mori. The illusion appeared in both versions of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, a retrospective exhibition of McQueen's designs. (Full article...)

Living Memory LGBT History Timeline from Trans perspective
A possible resource. Transgender Aging Network has launched a project - Living Memory LGBT History Timeline to assist with aging LGBT folks "It is impossible to tell without asking someone precisely which public events shaped their lives, but knowing what was likely reported in newspapers and discussed at dinner parties during a person’s lifetime may help you understand how their worldview was shaped. To offer insight into the concerns, lifestyles, and belief sets of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who are now 50 and older, the Transgender Aging Network has constructed the following timeline showing how old they would have been when there were critical events or changes in the lives of LGBT people." Starting with the 1920s the events list can be cross-referenced with current GLBT timelines and used as a possible stepping stone to aid Trans projects and awareness.

Feminists for Life potential material
http://www.aboutabortions.com/ quotes to be sourced and used for Feminists for Life article
Jane Roberts, the wife of John Roberts, was a volunteer member of Feminists for Life's board of directors from 1995 to 1999. She has provided legal assistance to the pro-life group and been recognized as a contributor who donated from $1,000 to $2,500. She has written for a newsletter for a pro-life group called 's newsletter, including an article about adoption. Roberts and her husband have adopted two children. Source: Richard A. Serrano, Los Angeles Times Jul 21, 2005
Recognizing that 20 percent of all abortions are performed on college students, Foster launched Feminists for Life's College Outreach Program to provide practical resources for pregnant and parenting students and keeps up a grueling schedule traveling to campuses, where she's remarkably successful in changing students' minds about abortion. Planned Parenthood called Feminists for Life's "Question Abortion" campaign "the newest and most challenging concept in anti-choice student organizing."
Foster sharply criticizes colleges for providing abortions but no other services for pregnant students. "What kind of a choice is that?" she asks. She challenges abortion supporters and pro-lifers to work together to provide real alternatives to women facing crisis pregnancies.
Patricia Heaton, who played Raymond's wife on the hit series Everybody Loves Raymond, is a Feminists for Life celebrity spokesman who loves Foster. She explains that "opponents think [our] group is strong and powerful, because Serrin is strong and powerful. She's the embodiment of what we feel about women. To think that the only thing a woman can do with a child is abort is demeaning to women and undermines everything that the women's movement has been working on since the suffragettes."
Under the banner "Women Deserve Better," Heaton appears in one of Feminists for Life's print ad campaigns that reads: "Every 38 seconds in America a woman lays her body down, feeling forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection that society has failed women. There is a better way."

'It's Not About Me'
By Dan Ewald | Christian Reader Magazine
"She is brazen in her decision to be pro-life in an unabashedly pro-choice town. Patricia is the honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life, a non-religious group that attempts to bring feminism back to its original meaning, which, she says, was about making the world a place where women and children can feel safe and protected and become whom they are to the fullest extent. Since most of her peers connect pro-lifers to a brand of Christian extremism, Patricia appreciates Feminists for Life's method." In my community in Hollywood, FFL is a way to approach the question of feminism and pro-life thinking in a way that people can hear it and don't have a preconceived idea."

Susan B. Anthony's Abortion Position Spurs Scuffle Run Date: 10/06/06 By Allison Stevens Washington Bureau Chief

Break template, hopefully not needed again
Welcome back!
You've been sorely missed. I hope you're feeling somewhat less stressed (though I see you've having to interact with Lulu lotus on the Genderfuck article, which is never a pleasant experience, in my experience), and if I can be of any assistance, I'm only a holler away. Jeffpw 05:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you! And I appreciate your support through it all, I guess anonymity does have a downside. Benjiboi 00:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Homosexuality in animals - Hyena mounting dispute
Please don't just re-add that section. We should not let this devolve into an edit war. Please let the discussion decide the outcome before more edits take place. That's how it's supposed to be. (Please respond to me in that article's discussion, or my talk page, thanks.) -Freak104 16:26, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- This section states that both male and female hyenes mount members of the same sex, what else do you need to see? I responded on the article talk page before re-adding the section by the way. Benjiboi 16:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Your one comment does not count as a full discussion. Other editors have to put in their opinion. And I responded to your comment about play mounting. -Freak104 16:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have seen nothing that the mounting researchers documented was considered play and, in fact, believe that they would have quickly (and more readily) categorized the mountings as such. Please stop deleting the entire section and instead find a reference that supports that all the mounting exhibited by hyenas is exclusively "play mounting" and that "play mounting" cannot be considered homosexual activity. Benjiboi 16:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Your one comment does not count as a full discussion. Other editors have to put in their opinion. And I responded to your comment about play mounting. -Freak104 16:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Just letting you know that I'm going to continue this discussion in the discussion section for the article, so I won't be checking here. Please let other editors express their opinion. -Freak104 16:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds fine to me. I look forward to any research that supports the statements either way. Benjiboi 16:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
