Rand?

Why Ayn Rand is in both categories: LGBT rights oponent and activist?

Indeed, Ayn Rand does not belong on this page. But I don't seem to have the technical skill to edit a category...

The argument goes that, although Rand didn't approve of homosexuality, and although she said some pretty nasty things about gay people, she believed that all people were effectively on equal footing and equally deserving of liberties, and therefore supported decriminalization of sodomy, equal rights for gay people, etc. I believe there was some discussion about that on Talk:Ayn Rand -Seth Mahoney 22:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bisexual rights activists

I am somewhat unhappy that we appear to be further marginalising a marginal community - which appears that it should be included in the "LGBT" of this category - by having a sub-category for "bisexual"-only activists. Either we should have all three separate "Lesbian rights activists", "Gay rights activists" and "Transgender rights activists" in addition to the "Bisexual rights activists" category, or we should have the single umbrella "LGBT" category. Given that it would be a minefield to separate these out I propose that the umbrella "LGBT" term should be the only one in use. Should there be no negative comments to this proposal I propose to make this change within seven days. --Vamp:Willow 15:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
