Untitled[edit]

Note that Martin and Mitchell were not gay, but I have included this entry under the LGBT project because various agencies of the U.S. government falsely reported them to be gay. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 14:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And you know they were not homosexual ... how, exactly?

I should have said "have not been shown to be gay". The point of my remark above is that they do not meet the standard criteria for inclusion in the LGBT category, but belong there because they have been labeled homosexual. (BTW, the weight of the evidence is pretty clearly in favor of identifying them as heterosexuals.) Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 15:34, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs a Neutral Point of View flag. It has zero references from Russians or from either men, which are two out of the three concerned parties. -Evan

Impact?[edit]

Given "A secret 1963 NSA study said that: "Beyond any doubt, no other event has had, or is likely to have in the future, a greater impact on the Agency's security program."[1]", it would be of interest to know the details of the impact. Jontel (talk) 10:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
