Talk:List of LGBT actions in the United States prior to the Stonewall riots

Name
Wouldn't this article be more suitably titled Timeline of pre-Stonewall LGBT actions in the United States? —  C M B J  16:59, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

 * How come? The article is presented in a distinctly chronological format, much like Timeline of LGBT history. —  C M B J   19:33, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Pro-LGBT/Pro-gay or even queer instead of homophile
Many of the people described in the events are referred to as homophiles. While not inherently wrong I feel like it could be confusing to a general audience.

Also homophile is often used to specifically refer to a gay person which may not be an accurate description of all the people involved in the events. Just an example John Rechy does not call himself gay or homosexual even if that might be an accurate description of part of his identity. Silas Mayes (talk) 19:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Homophile is linked the first time it appears in the article, in case someone is unfamiliar with the term. It's commonly how these organizations identified themselves and their cause, but doesn't imply that it's the self-identify of every individual involved. It certainly isn't our place to relabel groups of people as "queer" who would have been offended by that, any more than we anachronistically label ancient people as "gay". -Jason A.
