Q: Why is this article titled LGBTQ and not LGBTQ+/LGBTQIA+?
A: Per Wikipedia policy on article titles, we follow the WP:COMMONNAME that reliable sources most commonly use. The current title of LGBTQ followed a long history of move discussions, that eventually led to the current title of LGBTQ after reliable data has shown to have shifted to use LGBTQ over any other variants in reliable sources in the move discussion in August 2024. Eventually in the future, it may be that LGBTQ+ will overtake LGBTQ in reliable sources, but for the time being, this is the reason for the current article title.

The line "Asexual individuals experience minimal to no sexual attraction to others, and it is crucial to acknowledge that asexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation, not a deficiency or a temporary state." is not neutral because it incites a reaction. 'Crucial' cannot be used for this, should be reserved for logical purposes, if any. 188.120.85.151 (talk) 18:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual/Aromantic/Agender. It is more inclusive because it covers more topics than just LGBTQ. The "+" takes into account for every subcatergory which is just as important. It makes much more sense to change it to be more inclusive! Thank you!

Why LGBTQ is in italic? And if there's a reason for it, shouldn't all pages with LGBTQ on it (example LGBTQ history, LGBTQ community) have LGBTQ in italic? 201.92.11.147 (talk) 19:23, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
