The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: Still under five DYKs, shouldn't need a QPQ, but I've done a lot of nominations recently so wanted to do one anyway out of some sort of moral obligation.

Overall: @DecafPotato: good article. Honestly surprised that no one had made an article about this yet. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think this should be updated to include more of the community, as it's not entirely LGBT people in the community. I suggest saying 2SLGBTQIA+, or at least LGBTQ+, instead of just LGBT. There is so much more to the community and I'm sure readers would like to be included better in an article about them and their month.

What readers wish to see is both subjective and irrelevant. Articles are written using what reliable sources say. Asperthrow (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
@KingcCake: We just had a requested move conversation about moving the article LGBT to LGBTQ+, but it failed due to lack on consensus that the latter is (yet) a more common term. As @Asperthrow mentioned, we use what reliable sources say, so it takes a little while for Wikipedia to catch up to changes in terminology. I would be very surprised if that change doesn't succeed sometime soon, mind. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 08:33, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

This article should really mention that this is mostly a US (or possibly English speaking) phenomenon, as most of the world does not confine LGBT pride to a single month. LivLovisa (talk) 07:18, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
