Talk:Pinkwashing (LGBT)/Archive 1

Why is "Brand Israel"section here?
It is only partially related to pinkwashing and probably belongs on Hasbarah page. Kigelim (talk) 20:31, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I certainly agree that it should be put on the Hasbarah page, possibly linking from this article to that one by a "see also" template. – Jordan Hooper (talk) 23:14, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Nothing wrong with a bit of it here, linked to fuller coverage. I'll give it a try. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 23:24, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe the Israel section was trimmed too extensively. While the "Brand Israel" part was, IMHO, out of place, much of the rest is well deserved as beside cancer, Israel is probably mentioned the most as pinkwashing. Bmclaughlin9, what do you think? Kigelim (talk) 08:21, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I'm not quite done. I was interrupted. Some dead links in citations make it time-consuming. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 19:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Done now. The earlier version was prolix/repetitive. In 2 cases I kept extra citations, like Wiesenfeld on CUNY, but he's not worth detailing (I don't think) in the context of this entry. Just one guy complaining and not much of a public figure. Keegan O'Brien is a grad student and his views are already represented, I think. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Greenwashing
Pretty obvious to me. Similarly formed word used in a parallel fashion. Those who are looking at language issues rather than the politics of the topic would find it interesting. It could also be listed under "see also", I suppose. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 19:49, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Israeli Hasbara
The Hasbara in the section about Israeli pinkwashing is appalling. Since the pro-Israel view is not just given extensive coverage but also the last word, why is there not also equal skepticism in the treatment of the pro-Israel narratives which are presented as objective and valid counter-narratives. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 17:33, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

United States
The United States only has one short sentence that, although accurate, is seemingly biased and does not offer a lot of information about the topic. There is not much literature on pinkwashing in the United States, however more important information exists Ksr227 (talk) 04:50, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Immigration
I am flagging this section for discussion because it uses facts from a citation link that takes you to a tumblr post that does not exist. It's a large section so I don't want to completely delete it and instead see if there are any other resources that prove that the HRC apologized or the Huffington post called the immigration stunt pinkwashing.

Intersex
The first little paragraph of this section cites an article that no longer exists. It is unknown whether or not the information here is correct. The second paragraph is correct, however, and has proper citation. Ksr227 (talk) 19:53, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Corporate Marketing
This section has some valid information, however the first sentence is cited under a source that doesn't exist and I think there would be a lot better of an understanding if there was more discussion about like pride merchandise pinkwashing or social media marketing.

Malta
Malta is another example of pinkwashing.

The Maltese government was accused by some activists of pinkwashing to obscure its suppression of human rights in other areas such as the crackdown on journalists and anti-corruption activists.

Although Malta's LGBT legislation ranks 1st in the world, there is still a lot of ignorance and prejudice against LGBT, as 83% of the population identifies as Catholic.

In the run up to his 2013 election, Muscat gave an interview in which he declared that gay marriage is not “natural” and that marriage is only for a man and a woman.

At the height of the March 2016 Panama Papers scandal, which revealed that Muscat’s chief of staff Keith Schembri and senior minister Konrad Mizzi set up a complex structure of secret offshore companies, Muscat claimed that he is “in favour of gay marriage” and that it is “time to debate” the issue.

Equality Minister Helena Dalli was caught unawares admitting at a New York conference that the Labour Party tricked its voters into supporting civil unions, despite 80% of people objecting to them, by using deliberately unclear language in its electoral programme.

 * @Dustssics This is interesting input. Are you able to add neutral and notable refrences to these statements from media or academia? --Zblace (talk) 08:00, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
