Barely in use, seems like it could be intended or construed as a refutation of the numerous anti-homophobia boxes that use the phrase “straight not narrow” or variations (ex. User:Oxguy3/myboxes/Straight not narrow User:StuffOfInterest/Userboxes/User not narrow User:Albill/Userbox/User notnarrow User:Disavian/Userboxes/Not Narrow User:UBX/notnarrow User:Jw21/deUBdomain/notnarrow alt) Dronebogus (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: User's self-expression is the purpose of userpages, and userboxes are a standard way to do this. Nothing wrong with this userbox. SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: I think SmokeyJoe may want to reconsider what "narrow" means in this context. The many versions of "This user is straight but not narrow" have the word "narrow" link to Homophobia. Don't know why we should have userboxes that announce that you are narrow.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 20:13, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Correct, I did not twig that "straight and narrow" might be an intentional offense to the non-straight. It may be too subtle to be delete worthy, having an alternative interpretation: "the way of living that is honest and morally proper". Or not?  Still, I am inclined to call it within reasonable leeway.  Users should not be going to other user's userpages looking for ways to find offence.  If the user were injecting subtle offence elsewhere to their userpage, that would be more sanctionable. SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:20, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep but delete the "narrow" part if necessary. Super   Ψ   Dro  19:40, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The box reads like "I'm a proud homophobe." Scorpions13256 (talk) 02:05, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The box was, obviously, created with the intention that those who display it show how proud they are of their homophobia, and that can't be acceptable or allowed. —Sundostund (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I understood "narrow" to mean low on the Kinsey scale, as in exclusively heterosexual as opposed to heterosexuality with partial homosexuality. Unless one can prove that "narrow" is referring to homophobia, my vote stands as keep. — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 18:02, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mcguy's finding. I mean if this can be a reasoning then why does narrow have to be narrow minded? The term "narrow' is up for interpretation unless proven otherwise per WP:AGF. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:05, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, I'm not sure what "finding" you are referring to here. "Narrow" isn't a term associated with the Kinsey scale, in the graphic or in the article. I agree with Super Dromaeosaurus that it'd be best to reword this userbox.  Vanilla  Wizard  💙 19:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * My vote's rationale was mostly opinion and my perspective. Take it as you will. — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 19:56, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If the userbox is kept I will reword it. Dronebogus (talk) 20:19, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
