Talk:Alternative for Germany

What evidence is there for Weidel being bisexual rather than homosexual? Is she even the biological mother of the children she is raising with her female partner, or are they the partner's children? Either way, were the children conceived during a (presumably previous, but who knows) heterosexual relationship? The mere existence of children in a homosexual relationship does not imply that either partner is bisexual (cf. adoption, surrogacy, artificial insemination, fostering, etc.). Even being married and conceiving a child in the traditional way before subsequently embracing a homosexual lifestyle does not 'prove' that the person in question was actually heterosexual or bisexual at the time of the earlier relationship, or remains so later. Self-reporting seems to be the only way to be 'sure' about such cases (a parallel can be drawn with members of the ex-gay community), so is there some evidence for Weidel calling herself bisexual rather than homosexual? Alternatively, the entire discussion could be removed as immaterial, unless it is felt that her sexual orientation is relevant to her leadership role in the AfG. I will admit to seeing some incongruity there.--Brossa (talk) 16:36, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

I removed the info. I don't see why we need to note it there, especially due to the disagreement over its accuracy. --1990'sguy (talk) 23:04, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

I see that the claim that Weidel is bisexual has been reinserted, first by TrueTory and then removed but subsequently replaced by 1990'sguy. Is there some new information that supports the accuracy of that claim that was not present in August? For the record, I believe she identifies herself as a lesbian. If her sexuality is pertinent, why is she being described as bisexual?--Brossa (talk) 17:25, 25 September 2017 (EDT)

I completely forgot about this talk page discussion. Thanks for reminding me, Brossa. I don't think there has been any change since August, and after reviewing it again, I think my original position of keeping the mention out is correct (at least for now -- if we create an article for Weidel, we can include her sexuality, or possibly if we find a good source that accurately describes her sexuality).

Unrelated to the above, I found a good source arguing that the AfD is a conservative party: [1] While an opinion article, I find the arguments to be good, and the Washington Examiner is by no means an "alt-right" or etc. publication, so if they allow an op-ed writer state this position, I find the position more believable. --1990'sguy (talk) 18:25, 25 September 2017 (EDT)

Look at some of these proposals. They could have been written by Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. RobS^{De Plorabus Unum} 12:49, 23 August 2019 (EDT)
