Articles with disputes (current)

Kate Bornstein A dispute over Kate's preferred pronoun (ze/hir). See the talk page. Notice also posted here
Snowballing (sexual practice). RfC here on whether the article image illustrating this as a lesbian practice is accurate. 18:37, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Arrest of Bradley Manning - Currently, there seems to be an organized effort to remove any mention of Bradley Manning's sexuality here. Manning is gay, as confirmed in multiple reliable sources. His disaffection with the military due to the DADT policy is evident from the New York Times story published yesterday. [1] This is a notable factor in the story. 14:52, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Aesthetic Realism - this is an article about a group that claimed to cure (or as they put it, "solve the question of") homosexuality. This claim was the basis of any national notability they've had. (It still believes it cures homosexuality, but now won't talk about that belief publicly because it brought them negative publicity. For the past several months, under the pretext of "rewriting" the article, they've kept mention of this fact out of the lede of the article, despite the fact it had been there for years, and despite the fact that it's well-documented. Assistance in assuring that the lede conforms to Wikipedia's standards is needed. 03:32, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
John Bosco - Three years ago, this was a disputed article moderated and settled by LGBT in 2006. Two recent editors to the article have chosen to delete a Controversy section without seeking WP:CONSENSUS. The article has appropriate section markers in place but yet deletions occur without seeking consensus. --Morenooso (talk) 21:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In this DIFF, a neutral editor, NatGertler suggested a rewrite that has two sourced citations that demonstrate a controversy can be shown to exist. --Morenooso (talk) 01:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conversion therapy could do with balanced input from LGBT editors. Conor (talk) 08:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It could do with balanced input from non-LGBT editors too. Skoojal (talk) 01:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Skoojal, I agree wholeheartedly... the more the merrier! ;-) Conor (talk) 02:01, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John Maynard Keynes as he's returned to prominence recently and is commonly considered the most influential economist of the 20th century I thought it would be nice to get him up to FA status as part of a project. Maybe I should have joined the economics project, but even the ones I like their seem too free market, I’d be the only one with NPOV, LOL! So I hope its okay for me to second myself to this project.
- I'm really failing to see how John Maynard Keynes is relevant to the LGBT project. Just because someone is LGBT, doesn't necessarily make them of interest here. Also, of course the economics project would heavily discuss the free market, after all its a rather important economic theory of modern times. Keynes might've been influential, but you being pro-Keynes doesn't make you NPOV. Danrules2 (talk) 14:15, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - LGBT project helps with the LGBT aspects and ensuring they are presented accurately. His sexuality does seem to be a major aspect of his story so I think assisting on it is seems fine. You may want to post on the project page with specific help you seek. -- Banjeboi 12:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of LGBT events: I've raised a few issues on this article's talk page that could use editor input. Please add your comments after the {{unresolved}} boxes. --Tiger Marc ^ROAR! 13:22, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested categories

Category:Queer historians
Category:Trans historians
Category:Anti-gay_propaganda - this category is recently up for deletion but topics like Homosexual Agenda, Anti-LGBT slogans and Homophobic propaganda obviously fall into the same class. Please join the discussions to keep or rename the category if you believe there is a less controversial alternative.
