LGBT

[edit]

This article seems appropriate for WikiProject LGBT studies, but not necessarily an LGBT-related category. One can be LGBT or polyamorous, or both, or neither. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:34, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed that particular WikiProject per the reasons you mentioned. Feinoha Talk 02:40, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it is appropriate for LGBT studies, if Polyamory can be part of LGBT relationships, then it should be included LGBT studies. I added the WikiProject back. Demt1298 (talk) 18:27, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is fine within LGBT studies, sure. Historyday01 (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heinlein's stories

[edit]

No mention of Heinlein's stories in literature? At a minimum, Time Enough for Love and The Number of the Beast have a poly family as central characters, and poly families are the default in Lunar society in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Philculmer (talk) 10:50, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If there are reliable sources for it, then feel free to add sources for it. I say that because with many of the list pages, especially LGBTQ ones, people are always trying to add in entries with bad or poor sourcing, which is frustrating. Historyday01 (talk) 13:12, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Polyamory and Polyagamy are in fact different so the Instances of Polygamy should be removed
from this Article trying to list Polyamory. Can someone do this and remove at least
the Anime Character Uzui? 2003:DC:9F08:7D00:B8F5:D3B0:F622:1B9F (talk) 00:10, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I do think there should be more entries, but there need to be reliable sources to support those entries. There have to be more poly characters than this. Maybe some of those entries I listed back in 2021 under "Entries removed which need better sourcing" section can be verified with reliable sources.

Can someone do this and remove at least
the Anime Character Uzui? We're already stretching it probably too far with the 'just mentioned' Instances,
but including Marriages is really taking it too far. 2003:DC:9F08:7D00:B8F5:D3B0:F622:1B9F (talk) 00:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, they surely are different. I'm fine with removing the character Uzui, as Epicstream is a marginally reliable source anyway. Historyday01 (talk) 01:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Boys

[edit]

In season 3 episode 7, The Deep mentions wanting another partner join the relationship, and then they briefly try that. Should we include this in the article? -Mati_Roy

@User:Mati Roy, if there is a reliable source about that scene in The Deep (is this the series you mean?), then it surely should be included in the article. The more entries with reliable sources on this page, the better. --Historyday01 (talk) 01:25, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Historyday01, oops, sorry, I meant the character "The Deep" in the TV show "The Boys". Source "introduce a new partner" in [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mati Roy (talkcontribs) 23:40, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok. Thanks for that. Historyday01 (talk) 23:53, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Archie Comics

[edit]

Would Archie Andrews from the Archie comics and related media qualify because of his relationship with Betty and Vwronica? 2600:8800:1D1D:1C00:6CC2:EF2E:744:D204 (talk) 07:58, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT

[edit]

Polyamory is not generally considered LGBT because it's not a sexuality, gender, or romantic orientation. LGBT is defined as the community for anyone who is not straight, not cisgender, not allosexual (asexual), and not alloromantic (aromantic). So the LGBT portal bar should be taken off. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 16:28, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. It deserves to be within the LGBT project. This was already discussed before and there was consensus to maintain the page within the project, even though it is "not necessarily an LGBT-related category [as] one can be LGBT or polyamorous, or both, or neither." It IS appropriate. No need to have a discussion like this again. Your edits like this are NOT helpful either. If anything, this page should be expanded not weakened.

Related discussion in reference to Yivo (who has an entry on this page)

[edit]

Yivo, which has an entry on this page (in the films section), has a related discussion on Talk:List of fictional non-binary characters#Yivo as to whether Yivo is non-binary (currently sources indicate yes, but one user is disputing this). Notably, Yivo also has an entry on the List of animated films with LGBT characters page. Historyday01 (talk) 21:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
