A lot of the information in this article, especially the 18th-19th century is potentially beyond the scope of US LGBT history, and could have its own separate page. I think it takes away from the main points. Also the language used in the first sections is not concise enough. I think the focus needs to be brought back to Historical Events (social movements, education, laws, public health), and Figures. C.canovi ( talk) 17:26, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

I've replaced the pre-Obama history that was removed by AHC300 in December 2016, though I understand why they removed it as much of it was unsourced and essay-like. However, if the article is going to be called LGBT History in the United States it should have more than just the Obama and Trump administrations. Have deleted some of the more essay -like language and will work on referencing, since there does seem to be stuff worth keeping. Help on finding sources for the material is much appreciated. Otherwise, perhaps an entirely new article could be created on LGBT policies of Obama and/or Trump. ABF99 ( talk) 18:18, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't see the point of mentioning that pederast, buggery, sodomy, were included in Webster's dictionary. This says nothing about LGBT people at the time. These terms had surely been used for centuries and the fact that they were mentioned in the dictionary doesn't seem relevant.— Naddruf ( talk ~ contribs) 03:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
