Move Discussion
I was wondering if "Gay Media" could be changed to "LGBTQ+/LGBT Media". The article itself covers more than just gay media, so a broader term would indicate that. I'm not sure how to do it myself, though. Amethystloucks (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think it could be changed to LGBT media, while keeping "Gay media" as a redirect. Only one of the sources I can access, Gross's Up from Invisibility: Lesbians, Gay Men, and the Media in America mentions "gay media" as a term, and even then, it refers to its use in the 1970s and 1990s. On the other hand, I'd even say this page should be merged into Media portrayal of LGBT people, as it is more than just gay characters and media.
 * That's a good idea. I'm not sure how to merge, either - is there someone who could do that for us? Amethystloucks (talk) 19:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks to those who proposed this. There being no disagreement over the past 3 years, and with my concurrence, I have performed the move and the article is now 'LGBT+ media'. The term 'gay' generally applies only to homosexual men. Per this Talk, LGBT is now the accepted generic initalism. I have pre-emptively added + to avoid a battle over whether to add Q and the litany of other initials Chrisdevelop (talk) 20:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
