Category:Homosexual philosophers
This is offensive. What encyclopedic purpose does it have to pigeonhole philosophers by their sexual orientation? Certainly, a list of theorists whose work concerns sexuality is valid, but this is lazy and prurient XmarkX 06:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep, obviously. Nothing offensive here. :ThaddeusFrye 07:36, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - But I don't think this should be listed here. --Irishpunktom\talk 10:59, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
