[edit] Finkelstein?

I think this reference is inappropriate. I don't see what is so special about it that it deserves entry into the article. It seems to have a political motive, of trying to make gay Republicans appear to be hypocrites. Though that happens to coincide with my own views, political attacks have no place in an encyclopedia.

How about we mention some positive figures in the American gay rights movement, like Ellen DeGeneres, rather than focusing on gay "bad guys"? -Kasreyn 09:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger with LGBT movements in the United States

Ntennis has proposed merging this article with LGBT movements in the United States.

What would the merged article be called?Wuzzy 10:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think they should be merged. The two articles are distinctly different: the LGBT movements article focuses on specific movements and organizations in the U.S., whereas the Gay Rights article addresses a more general history of the gay rights movement in general.

I don't think they should be merged. -wond3rlust

They should not be merged. Legal issues and social issues are different and should be left alone. I also want to applaud Wikipedia for their continued support of the LGBT sections here! -TJ (2/10/07)
