I would like to propose adding a section of articles related to queer african americans out of solidarity with black lives matter. What do you think? Nattes à chat ( talk) 17:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

@ Rcsprinter123: Thanks for creating Template:Wiki Loves Pride talk. I was actually going to ask someone to try to merge these template based on the Art+Feminism talk page template, so you checked this off my list! Does documentation on this page need to be updated?

Would a "Wiki loves Nazism" or Wiki loves domestic violence" campaign occur. If not, then the title of this campaign is a violation of WP:NOV as it indicates that wikipedia as an aggregate support the homosexuality in the marriage debate. Somua35 ( talk) 19:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I just discovered this article Port Authority (film) after scouring articles for lists of LGBT filmmakers and making an article for its director. It sounds like an amazing film, and a lot of the sources at Danielle Lessovitz's article have some great detail on how it handles not fetishizing black bodies, trans bodies, and not commercializing drag culture. This is probably a great time to make this article much better quality. The only problem is, I haven't seen the film! So I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has, and if they'd like to collaborate on it? Kingsif ( talk) 04:14, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
It has a large section on /info/en/?search=Sexuality_in_Star_Trek#LGBT_in_Star_Trek
It is large enough to deserve it's own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LoganBlade ( talk • contribs) 10:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
Such as things are here are the 2020 events which people put into the meta:Programs and Events Dashboard. I think these are good outcomes considering the disruption this year. Wiki Loves Pride 2020.
For comparison, see Wiki Loves Pride 2019.
Lots of events happen and we still do not consistently encourage registration in this process which records outcomes. I do not think that it is urgent for us to force use of this tracking system, but it is nice for us to have the precedent of using it and to be able to show some outcomes.

Hello to all, Seeing this is a viewpoint that has been expressed repeatedly but unfortunately censored by the fanatical LGBT types I have decided to state it again.

Whenever we do an edit-a-thon, there's usually the suggestion to add this in your Edit Summary; like for example "Added new page with the goal to increase women's representation in Wikipedia" ~ I would love to hear if anyone has suggestions on what to add during these Pride months. New pages can get treated a little unkind, so it would be good to add the reason WHY you're adding another bio for a trans person, etc. etc. so the non-LGBTQIA moderators here know something special is happening. -- Jolarti ( talk) 23:23, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Bob Mizer was a photographer who from the 1940s - 60s who operated a studio called the Athletic Model Guild. Photos from this studio appeared in various publications, including the Physique Pictorial. Many issues of that magazine seem to be in the public domain, which would make their contents, including photographs by Bob Mizer, art that they published by Tom of Finland, also in the public domain.
I think this is the most interesting and historically significant media collection which has come to Commons. If we can confirm that this content is in the public domain, then we could bring in the rest of the content at higher resolution. Right now in Commons there is Commons:Category:Physique Pictorial and Commons:Category:Athletic Model Guild.
I am unclear of the sources of all this content. Some of this content comes from JD Doyle archives, some from Cornell University through Internet Archive, and I have not tracked down who all might have engaged with it on Wikipedia. Garcia1865 uploaded a set of photos which contemporary publisher Taschen republished after deeming them public domain. We have someone claiming to represent the Bob Mizer Foundation who uploaded photos here Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by JoshPaulThomas. I think there is public domain content here but we need to track the provenance.
I wanted to post here first because all these uploads are recent. If we organized some group research to confirm copyright compatibility with the Wikimedia platform then we could present this collection with this year's Wiki Loves Pride outcomes. Here is what I think needs to happen:

I am unsure if someone has already done this, but here is a Wikidata query to find LGBT people from x:

As a matter of semantics, the query would be more accurately described as "Human subjects of English Wikipedia articles born, residing, or working in x who are either not heterosexual or whose listed sex/gender is not "male", "female", or "cisgender". Obviously, it is not perfect, but it is a possible starting point for some of the "LGBT people from x" lists. Mysteryman blue 21:38, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
I found this in the WiR queue, but it's worth eyes here too as she's the first openly gay Deputy Mayor of Tel Aviv and a long-time LGTBQ+ activist. Anyone familiar with AFC? Normally if I find a promising draft, I'll improve and move to main space, but this has been declined so many times, I'm not sure on process. There are some issues with the dates around her activism/chair of Agudah that stem from most of the sourcing around that role being in Hebrew, but she seems to be notable. Thoughts?

In fleshing out List of LGBT people from Chicago, I came across Ann Bannon, who is a good contender for that list as she was raised in Hinsdale, Illinois. I noticed that her Wiki article has remarkably little about her own sexual orientation. She notes how she questioned her sexuality, and this article writes that she spent time "romancing in the gay bars of Greenwich Village". But the same article also says "Weldy shrugs off the label of lesbian—Chapman calls her "remarkably agile in the way she sees herself"—and considers sexuality a continuum. 'Nobody is totally one way or another. One of the problems of settling on a label is other people . . . think they know everything about you.'" While she clearly draws on her personal experiences and is open about many of them, she seems to consciously not go as far as to reveal many of the more personal or intimate aspects of her life (which we should respect). While most people would draw the conclusion that she is not heterosexual, I'm wondering if there's enough verifiable information there to add her to lists of LGBT people or to keep her article in various LGBT categories.

I've tagged Erica Rutherford, an article about a transgender woman, for tone. I left a message for its creator, too: it was created as part of WiR, by a regular of the project. This is because it uses male pronouns throughout, as well as language generally seen as transphobic (e.g. "Eric decided to have transsexual surgery"). It's pretty bad. Kingsif ( talk) 04:27, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
For example, Women in Red, Art+Feminism, WikiGap, Wiki Loves Women, and #VisibleWikiWomen work to strengthen coverage by and about women on Wikimedia projects, often with an emphasis on women who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color. Groups such as Black Lunch Table and AfroCrowd focus on adding knowledge about Black history and people of African descent to our projects.

To mark the beginning of WLP22, I created a couple of images celebrating LGBT+ representation in Wikimedia’s original characters! Dronebogus ( talk) 13:49, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia already had an article for the ant Strumigenys ayersthey. "Ayers they" referred to Jeremy Ayers, whose article did not yet exist, and who was an artist and activist who used they pronouns.
Someone did inappropriate editing to erase sources, name, and story as I noted at meta Wikimedia LGBT+. Those edits came to be a challenge to make things better. Credit could go to the person who flagged the change, people who discussed it, and other people who contributed. I will name and credit 28bytes now because this user actually researched and wrote tthe Ayers biography, and because that user has experience taking care of themselves in wiki when there is trouble around.
I wanted to share this as an early story of progress for Wiki Loves Pride 2022. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
In 2019 the results page gave credit to contributors as seen at Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride/2019/Results#Articles.
The past two years there has been no credit, as in the list at Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride/2021#Articles.
I am not sure that listing user's names next to article titles is the best course of action, but I would like to credit contributors. Is there a good way to do this? Also does having one's name listed on this page attract trouble...? I get mean anti-gay comments sometimes for wiki activities but I am not sure this project is the reason. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
This is used on the main page and, er, I have never seen a pride flag with a dog paw on it before and, you know, I am open-minded but I think I would rather not know why it is in the mix of pride flags for the gif and ask that someone who can edit the gif remove it. Ping @ Another Believer: as an active user who might be able to. Kingsif ( talk) 19:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
@ Another Believer noticed this deletion thanks to your edit of the page. Regardless of the socking affecting the prior, she's deserving of an article so I kick started a stub.

As a community we have limited resources to develop articles. Wikipedia is multilingual, and when there are important articles, we translate them across languages. How do we prioritize?
Check this out - technology, a concept, and community organizing infrastructure:
Pick ~99 articles, then prioritize them for translation and development. Wiki Loves Pride is a major inspiration for this. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I am not sure that listing user's names next to article titles is the best course of action, but I would like to credit contributors. Is there a good way to do this? Also does having one's name listed on this page attract trouble...? I get mean anti-gay comments sometimes for wiki activities but I am not sure this project is the reason.

This is used on the main page and, er, I have never seen a pride flag with a dog paw on it before and, you know, I am open-minded but I think I would rather not know why it is in the mix of pride flags for the gif and ask that someone who can edit the gif remove it.

@ Another Believer noticed this deletion thanks to your edit of the page. Regardless of the socking affecting the prior, she's deserving of an article so I kick started a stub. Can someone who is better with Talk pages and categories give it a little love? Thanks! Star Mississippi 14:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Or, any watchers interested in reviewing? Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 18:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
As a community we have limited resources to develop articles. Wikipedia is multilingual, and when there are important articles, we translate them across languages. How do we prioritize?
Check this out - technology, a concept, and community organizing infrastructure:
Pick ~99 articles, then prioritize them for translation and development. Wiki Loves Pride is a major inspiration for this. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
There's an open AfD that might be of interest to editors watching this page. (Why isn't there an LGBTQ+ delsort?) Star Mississippi 15:32, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
@ UtherSRG: @ Star Mississippi: The closest one is the 'sexuality and gender' delsort but that covers a wide spectrum. Did you want me to create a more specific LGBTQ+ one? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:23, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
