 * "Introduction rewrite of LGBT conservatism" focuses on creating a new, comparably cleaner and conciser introduction for LGBT conservatism, a self-described article discussing the conservative movement within the LGBT community. Since September 2010, the article was considered a personal or argumentative essay, so this rewrite offers an encyclopedic variation, hopefully providing a step in the right direction to correct the article. Non-affirming and affirming is more clear, substituting Stonewall, as in Pre-Stonewall and Post-Stonewall; I felt that affirming is more direct and understandable by readers unfamiliar with LGBT topics. Furthermore, the writing is intentionally based upon other articles, including LGBT conservatism in the United States, Black conservatism, and Black conservatism in the United States, to make this one more consistent.

=Introduction rewrite of LGBT conservatism (incomplete)=

LGBT conservatism is a political and social philosophy within the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community that largely aligns with conservative views. While more fiscally, socially, and politically conservative, LGBT conservatives share supportive views on issues like marriage equality, civic equality for LGBT people, and the role of affirming religion, but issues like adoption, rights of private businesses, bisexuality, and transgender topics lack a complete unanimity.

The Realpolitik and ideological situations of a LGBT conservative vary by a given sociopolitical, cultural, and legal landscape on LGBT issues.
