Only a few third-party references, a quick Google search only shows a few refs from gay blogs. Article also has serious POV issues. NYyankees51 (talk) 19:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sexuality and gender-related deletion discussions.  — —Tom Morris (talk) 19:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. An extremely cursory Google News and Google Books search found plenty of news references that support notability. Referencing and tone issues can be corrected through normal editing, not through deletion. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep -- that Google search was obviously _too_ quick. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/religion/3731525.html, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,187524,00.html, http://www.deseretnews.com/article/635198751/Gathering-protests-Y-gay-policy.html, http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/6726921.html, http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=29213, http://books.google.com/books?id=MkekTS4_k_sC&pg=PA8920&dq=%22Equality+Ride%22, etc. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:42, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep -- improve article, per Roscelese/Sarek and previous AfD. AV3000 (talk) 21:38, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Soulforce. While the sources talk about ER, Soulforce is the main topic in the sources. – Lionel (talk) 04:32, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - I can do without the PC addition of Q to LGBT, but this is pretty clearly an encyclopedia-worthy topic, the subject of multiple pieces of substantial, independent coverage. Here's AN ARTICLE FROM YES! MAGAZINE, for example. Carrite (talk) 02:53, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
