This article agrees with that assessment, in line with, which states that "Context matters tremendously when determining the reliability of sources, and their appropriate use on Wikipedia...other content may be merely opinion pieces, which mainly represent the personal views of the author, and depend on the author's personal reliability as a source...Consider also the weight of the claims you are supporting, which should be evaluated alongside the reliability of the sources cited. Mundane, uncontroversial details have the lowest burden of proof, while information related to biomedicine and living persons have the highest." I would say this source fulfills that burden.--> Additionally, Marcy's VA, Olivia Olson confirmed that Marcy and Bonnie had dated[21] and an episode of , "Obsidian," shines a light on Marcy and Bonnie's relationship.[22] While Bonnie seems to have dated a male character named Mr. Cream Puff,[23] her exact sexuality, unlike Marcy's,[24] has not been confirmed.
