[edit] Improvement effort
Would anyone be up for helping in an effort to improve this article? I've just been looking around at some of the LGBT articles from other countries, and it really made me wonder if we can't do much better than this. Rebecca 00:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- It certainly deserves to be more than a list.--cj | talk 16:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think it could be done by separating the article into various topics in the legal arena and tracing the history that way.
- 1) the decriminalization of homosexual sex acts

- 2) the recognition of civil unions

-
- 3) the establishment of 'marriage as between one man and one woman' laws
-
-
-
- 4) anti-discrimination laws in housing/employment
-
-
-
- 5) allowing LGBT to adopt
-
-
-
- 6) gays/lesbians serving in the military.

I made the re-organization, but I am not good with getting the reference and citation links in the proper format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.15.115.165 (talk) 21:52, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
I think it's time once again for reorganization. Since there is already an article on Same-sex Marriage, there's no need to repeat it. Perhaps a breakdown showing the dicriminalisation and recognition history and progress by each state:
- 1) LGBT history and activism (summary of early years and significant events)
- 2) Decriminalisation and recognition
- Commonwealth
- Civil union proposals
- Social Security Act 1991
- Immigration and sponsorship
- Military service
- Marriage ban
- ACT
- New South Wales
- Northern Territory
- Queensland
- South Australia
- Tasmania
- Victoria
- Western Australia
- Commonwealth
- 3) Adoption and parenting (This may have grown enough to have its own page, with a summary here)
- 4) Public opinion in 2007
- 5) Opposition groups
- 6) Other areas of LGBT rights
- Inheritance and property rights
Other suggestions welcome!! 71.108.6.153 (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Intro
The intro is poorly written, the result of several edits I'm guessing, and needs to be reworded to make it clearer. I would but honestly don't understand it. Cheers, Rothery 05:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- intro and whole article have been re-written.207.69.137.28 19:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Recognition of gay unions
This should be a summary of the main article it comes from, rather than an exact copy. I think it used to be much shorter, so I'm not sure what happened. 71.108.6.153 (talk) 23:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
