Bias????

I don't understand: the "bias" tag was added to this article last month with no mention of what about it was biased. The tag instructs, "Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (November 2010)". How can a dispute be resolved, when no issues for dispute have been raised. If no commentators say what the dispute is by 2011-01-15, I will consider the dispute resolved and remove the tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jontomkittredge (talk • contribs) 19:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully, this page won't turn into some "political tool" for the LGBT social reformers. Alva's a person and should be treated as such. Bluemarine 15:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date contradiction

Attention editors,

I noticed that there are two contradictory dates of birth for Mr. Alva. At the top of the article it says "(born December 19, 1970)" but in the infobox it states "Born April 1, 1971 (age 44)". Does somebody know the correct date? - 2602:306:372B:CD09:649F:3F32:AA43:7FB1 (talk) 18:14, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's April 1, 1971. Sourced now. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 21:13, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
