I get that this is a controversial subject and criticism should be mentioned, but fringe should not be over represented and the main article for gay pride should not be overwhelmed with these fringe views in opposition to it without some balance. overall, the section seems pointless at times and over bearing in detail. — Preceding

The following is a closed discussion of a

move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Support to either the proposed title or
LGBT pride. The concept of pride this article is about is not limited to gays but concerns other sexual minorities as well.

Strongly Oppose This discussion literally just happened a year ago and closed with Not moved.Not moved should be used when a consensus has formed to keep the current title and not rename the article(s) in question. For instance, a proposal to rename Bob Dylan to Squeezy Joe would likely result in everyone (or nearly everyone) agreeing that the proposed move should not take place; this notifies other editors that they should probably not propose this move in the future until and unless circumstances change.If an article title has been stable for a long time,[9] and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed. Consensus among editors determines if there does exist a good reason to change the title. If it has never been stable, or it has been unstable for a long time, and no consensus can be reached on what the title should be, default to the title the article had when the first major contribution after the article ceased to be a stub was made.WP:TITLECHANGESEthanpet113 (

This discussion is about moving to a different title, as I mentioned in the proposal. Now there also seems to be a consensus forming in favour of the original proposal – "LGBT pride" – demonstrating that
Wikipedia:Consensus can change. ;;

Support. The overwhelming common name in modern usage is simply pride, as can be seen at
Pride parade and the vast majority of individual events in
Category:Pride parades. Outside of a historical context or the few events that specifically use the phrase, gay pride feels very dated.--

The argument here is that "Pride" is the common name. "LGBT pride" and "Pride (LGBT)" are both options for disambiguation of "Pride". In the case of disambiguation, we not only need to look at what is the most common, but what accurately disambiguates the title. "Pride (LGBT)"/"LGBT pride" are clearly more appropriate than "Gay pride", given the wide variety of identities represented by Pride. ;;

Strongly Support a change to
Pride (LGBT). Pride is certainly the common name and I think this option best threads the needle btwn the common name and necessary disambiguation.
LGBT Pride would at least disambiguate more accurately than the current name. The current name is neither the most common nor the most accurate of the available options and it should be changed.

Support change to Pride (LGBT). “gay pride” is a pretty blatantly outdated/incorrect term since the concept is typically understood to include all minority sexual/gender/etc identities. Seems like common sense to me.

Disambiguator comment: There is an RM discussion currently open about potentially moving
LGBT to
LGBTQ. If that is done and this proposal is also adopted, the disambiguator should be "LGBTQ". —

Support Pride (LGBT+) (with reservations) I believe that Queer Pride, or Pride (Queer) would make more sense in the long run. The reason being that no matter how many letters we add to LGBTQIA+, this discussion will always be evolving. Queer is an independent, inclusive, term that that is not connected to any one sexuality, gender or attraction. As someone who does not identify as LGBT, but does identify as Queer, I feel that the cause of Pride and been bogged down by the lack of a single unifying term. It's nauseating to have to spell and say LGBTQ+ every time in conversation, and since the derogatory connotation behind Queer has been effectively eliminated, this is what feels most progressive to me. But alas, that is just my two cents.
Queer is still less common per
WP:COMMONNAME, even though it’s also my personal preference. Also, using “queer” as a homophobic/barely re-appropriated term wasn’t that long ago, relatively speaking, and still might be distasteful or “vulgar” (per above) to older readers/users.

Support Like others have said the term most commonly used now is "pride" rather than "gay pride." Also pride is meant to be an event for increasing awareness of LGBTQ+ people in general. Labeling it "gay pride" is plainly wrong. There are ace/aro people who are celebrated at pride and straight trans people, for example.

change “cable TV station” (first paragraph) to “cable TV channel” or “cable TV network”. A station is a physical location that broadcasts, the link goes to an article about a channel (actually a network that exists over different channels in different countries).

Having a long and proud history of protesting against the powerful, Pride should have some common ground with the like-minded groups. So, instead of taking corporate money, they might have supported the right of groups protesting against powerful people.
The sources that Brenda Howard, Robert A. Martin, and L. Craig Schoonmaker had anything to do with the word "pride" are quite dodgy or non-existent. It looks like Howard had less to do with the use of the word pride and seem she may have been more about being one of the founders of Christopher Street Liberation Day. Are there more reliable sources and details for the claim they had anything to do with inventing or popularizing the word "Pride"?
