I want to add or at least try to add most of the LGBTQ sexualities. This would include bisexual, transexual, pansexual, etc. I would even like to include a section for those who question themselves and aren't able to identify. The article briefly talks about homosexuality but there are more identifications than just straight and homosexual. Regarding the flirting section I want to completely edit it to have zero bias as well as list multiple different perspectives of how people recognize flirting.

Sexuality is something one identifies with, not something others can label someone as. Homosexuality is barely discussed and when it is, it is described as a choice rather than genetically determined. There was a study in 1991 that showed the hypothalamus of a gay man differed with that of a straight man. I want to discuss homosexuality and its differences with bisexuality, transgender women/ men, identifying as queer, asexuality, and pansexuality. The author, along with a lot of people in society, group all of these together and don't realize there are differences. I want to discuss all of these as objectively as possible in order to avoid seeming like I have a bias. That is one of the biggest issues with this page. There is a negative bias towards most of it. Besides discussing the differences I also want to talk about the judgement and violence the LGBTQ community faces. Recently, there was a huge shooting in Orlando, which left the LGBTQ and Florida communities in shock and awe. I also want to talk about LGBTQ homeless youth who have been kicked out of their homes due to their parents not agreeing with their sexuality, thinking it's a choice, and refusing to support their children. The only difficulty I may have is finding consistent, credible sources.

According to this specific source, there are three different approached to gender identity and sexuality. There three different approaches are the "person-centred", "rights-based", and "deconstructive" which draws on ideas from Queer Theory. Queer Theory is a book that discusses different sexuality categories of 'woman', 'man', 'lesbian', and 'heterosexual' based on the opinions of Judith Butler, Steven Epstein, Steven Seidman, and Michael Warner. The debate between sexuality being pre-determined and developed throughout a person's life is further talked about. Despite the opinions of these commenters, we can talk about the two different opinions about sexuality. One opinion is that sexuality is something someone is born with and will not be changed. Someone may choose to suppress their sexuality or behave differently from it due to their family or society. The other opinion is that sexuality is developed based on someone's environment and sexual relationships.

Good work so far, one thing I noticed is that in the huffington post article, there was a paragraph towards the end of the article where the author weighed in his personal opinion on whether or not gay people should be allowed to engage with other gay people. Make sure that you do not let any biased from this author creep in to your editing of the wikipedia page.
