Talk:Proposed bans of LGBT-themed books in the United States

✅ Confusing title
The title of this article at the time of writing is "List of proposed anti-gay book bans in the United States"- suggesting that it lists proposed bans on books opposing the LGBT community- while the article itself is about "proposed bans of lesbian or gay-themed books in the United States." While most of these ban proposals are made by (if I may have an opinion here) homophobic assholes, this is a bad title for the article. Request move to a more appropriate title.

 * I agree fully Hppavilion1. I also think it should be moved from "gay" to "LGBT", it covers books banned for featuring transgender themes too, without any real same-sex contact so "gay" does not seem like an appropriate title, (not to mention some lesbians do not identify as "gay" either).★Trekker (talk) 10:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That's not actually what I was getting at - I meant that the title implies it's a ban on books which are anti-gay, rather than a ban on books motivated by anti-gay tendencies - but that's actually a very good point. Not sure what a better title would be though. Hppavilion1 (talk) 20:28, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I know what you mean, I just added another point.★Trekker (talk) 23:22, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

As part of my edits to the "see also" section of the LGBT Right in the United States page, I went ahead and carried out this move. The old title was extremely confusing. ElectroChip123 (talk) 23:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

This article is ridiculously confusing and uncited
What does 'banned' mean? Under the First Amendment, a book can't really be banned. Do we mean they were challenged? When? Where? What was the outcome? Do we include books that were challenged in a single library or school, or does it need to be a wider scope? Are they included if they were challenged but left on the shelves? This article, as it stands, is almost completely meaningless. Bkatcher (talk) 19:18, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
