Why in the world does this intellectually depraved, flagrant, tabloidish, and breathtakingly silly list exist on Wikipedia? Why should it exist anywhere? For those who wish to waste their time enumerating the sexuality of well-known people, there's the National Enquirer and other tabloids. If this list can stand on intrinsic merit alone, then shouldn't Wikipedia have lists of notable bald men, men with one testicle, transgender (
I'm too late), transgenders with one testicle, dwarfs, women with augmented breasts, people one shade darker than white, and people who feature any other attribute that are different in the eyes of bigots everywhere? The only Wikipedia context in which a mention of one's sexuality is potentially relevant is as part of a larger article about one's life and times as a whole. And in the event that you still feel good about maintaining and contributing to foolish lists like this one, perhaps you should bear in mind that
jailing homosexuals,
interning thousands of Japanese Americans, and
killing millions of Jews entails compiling lists resembling this one.
I think Wikipedia users would be much better served by a list comprising all the sorts of things that bigots commonly turn their attention to. Finally, since I'm all but certain that it's important to those who must drum up a counter argument, I'm a 52-year-old heterosexual white guy.--

I think the title of this page is not inclusive enough. It should be changed to "List of LGBTQ+ people" or similar, where people with other preferences or self identifications are properly represented. Thinker78 ( talk) 19:20, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

"Please add the following people to your article: Pete Buttigieg, Andy Cohen, Tim Gunn, Sean Hayes, Neil Patrick Harris, Harvey Milk, Cassandra Peterson, Vincent Price, RuPaul. The source materials are the articles already within Wikipedia - they just need links to each entry" 70.125.42.213 ( talk) 22:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
