Are Black British and other ethnic folks a single community? This would seem to be linking disparate groups together for the taint of being non-white. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. --

Well, since "
Black British" isn't technically a single community either (depending on one's definition), the same argument could be made for that.
Yes, but those sources aren't covering them as a single community. Do we have sources that treat this as a separate group for the discussion of homophobia? Are there strong attributes that link homophobia as expressed in these diverse communities that do not also apply to the white community? Or does this article just end up being a ghetto to separate out these folks from "normal" people and their homophobia? --

Coming from
this discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies, I don't see why the article should be renamed. Right now, it is about black people in Britain. We should be going by what the
WP:Reliable sources state. Furthermore, if the "and ethnic minority community" part is not meant to pertain to Britain, that is already covered by other articles about homophobia in their communities. If the "and ethnic minority community" part is meant to pertain to Britain, it can be interpreted broader than that, which is what I just did in this paragraph. And as for covering
Muslim people, a black person being Muslim or adhering to some other religion does not mean that the article's title should reflect that. Also, per
WP:Article title, the title should not have "ethnic" capitalized. Maybe "Black" should also not be capitalized.

Of the sources he lists, only the last one is lumping together various communities... but even then, it's basically about the Muslim community, and when they do list other communities, they include "white" in it ("black, white or Asian"). --

Either as a separate article or as a section of some larger Homophobia in Britain article, yes, that would seem much more appropriate. (Is "Muslim" even an ethnic community, or is it a religious one?) --

Ok A. In spite of all the talk at the Islamophobia page Muslims are not a race, they are not even an ethnicity or nationality they are a religion. Secondly, This article is strictly about Black British Homophobia. If we start lumping it together with Asian British Homophobia or Arab Bristish Homophobia or Jewish British Homophobia we will have defeated the purpose of the article.-
