On 12 July 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from LGBT social movements to LGBT movements. The result of the discussion was moved.

Movement vs movements

Sources (both popular and scholarly) differ in whether they speak of a single "LGBT movement" or multiple "LGBT movements". I think this has been a topic of some controversy in the history of this article, and I don't want to relitigate that controversy here, but I also think the article could do with some (neutral) discussion of those terminological issues.

It's more sensible that it be "LGBT rights movement". Zenomonoz (talk) 02:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So yeah, I think there are two terminological disputes here (1) "LGBT movement[s]" vs "LGBT rights movement[s]"; (2) "LGBT movement" vs "LGBT movements". Still, my point in this section was to argue we should discuss these terminology issues in the article somewhere; I was trying to avoid reopening the can of worms about what the article should be called.

LGBTQIA+

Instead of simply LGBTQ, it should be LGBTQIA+ trhoughout the article to be inclusive and non-discriminatory. ~2026-11935-13 (talk) 09:31, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Rights Movements?

Since there is a separate page for the Transgender Rights Movement, shouldn't there be separate pages for gay, lesbian or bisexual rights movements? ~2026-19591-54 (talk) 02:08, 30 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
