Eurocentric?[edit]
It is a flag from the USA. How can it be Eurocentric? It is 100% American and not European. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.212.153 (talk) 06:56, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- According to the linked article, Eurocentrism is not about continents. It is about cultures (at the broadest level). It is about a focus on Western culture. This absolutely can include something created in America. Klippa (talk) 04:40, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- No it cannot, American, as no one lives in 'the west', a fictional country you made up in your head. No one has any relation to you at all. You cause something, you take responsibility, not me or anyone else. 100% on you.
- American centric thinking on clear display here. Totally foreign to all of Europe and the rest of the planet. What a joke, to accuse others of practicing your alien culture. Put your Uncle Sam American name on your American made flag. 142.163.68.86 (talk) 12:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Why no QQIP2SAA?[edit]
Is there a reason why we are using the lesser used LGBT instead of LQBTQ+ or something similar? Heymisterscott (talk) 23:05, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hey! It's the same reason we use all the names we do on wiki: while an extended form with the "QA+" is increasingly popular and may soon become the obvious WP:COMMONNAME, it's not clear that it has yet, and because it is explicitly a larger category, there are potentially considerations in just swapping one for the other in certain articles.
- If you go to Talk:LGBT, you can see there have been numerous discussions about whether to switch, the earliest of which took place in June of this year. So far, none of them have established consensus for the move. cheers! Remsense留 23:42, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ok thanks for the info! Heymisterscott (talk) 07:00, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- LGBT is deff NOT the lesser know. it's the Base of all the initials. We don't use stuff like LGBTQIA+ or LBGLT for the same reason we don't use LGB, LGBT is the most common form. Babysharkboss2 was here!! (Talk to me) (Waif Me!) 15:06, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
Confusion[edit]
LGBTQ+ has a war flag, but doesn't it need to be an actual country to have one?
