Talk:LGBT people in science

Untitled
Peer Review First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way? - You did a great job at beginning to explain the hardships that LGBT people face in STEM. I liked how you mentioned that if there were more LBGT role models it might make it easier for other LGBT people to join STEM. What changes would you suggest the author(s) apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement? - You can expand much more on the claims you have made thus far. For example, talk more about the American Physical Society list that you mentioned. What's the most important thing the author(s) could do to improve the article? -Talk more specifically about the oppression LGBT people face and what hardships they encounter as they try to enter STEM fields. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? Let them know! -Not at the moment. Great job!

Expand History section
I created a new article section for History. It needs to be expanded. I also created a new section for "Challenges" (intentionally changed "Difficulties" to "Challenges"). I have done work on this page over the past couple of years, and it's a lot better. But it still needs a lot of work, more sources, etc. The writing is really disjointed. Maybe someday I will have the time to rewrite this page, but I hope someone can give this page a little love and improve/expand it. CodexFelinus (talk) 16:37, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, CodexFelinus. I'm hoping to be one to give this page additional love! While it does still need a lot more work overall, I notice that what is currently included focuses specifically on white, English speaking gay men from the mid 20th century. While I think the article would benefit from any additions to the examples of LGBT individuals, as it is relatively bare bones right now, specifically the L, B, and T aspects of the page are missing, so additions in those categories would be especially helpful, as well as additions of LGBT individuals who are not white and/or male, as well as some historical representation from before the 20th century and from countries other than the United States of America or England. I hope to also ensure more sources have links associated with them for greater ease of access. There are also citations in the article which lead to an article that references research, and the additional link to the original research could be helpful, too.

As an update, I plan to add more to the History of LGBT people in science section, including some details on the hidden nature of historical LGBT people at large, as well as adding a few sources and a specific example of Leonardo da Vinci, as his private life is far more documented than most.

I am adding a paragraph about Magnus Hirschfield. Ankithj (talk) 15:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
