Comment[edit]

Is https://books.google.com/books?id=FPswAAAAIAAJ&q=%22sexual+minority%22&dq=%22sexual+minority%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiu9oTGgdbOAhWHAcAKHcWBBvIQ6AEIHjAA (1955, Matachine Society) a better citation for the origin of sexual minority in regard to sexuality? (Other uses of "sexual minority," which refer to women, from the 1960s have been excluded.)

Additionally, it seems Ullerstam never used the express term "sexual minority," rather Hugo G. Beigel did in reviewing Ullerstam's work. The review itself is what has been cited, not Ullerstam's work. Ullerstam argued on behalf of these people as minorities but the closest term used in English translation is the title itself, "Erotic Minorities." --208.54.35.152 (talk) 23:16, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The entire subsection labeled “Controversy” is all over the place, and focuses a lot on just explaining the viewpoints of trans individuals in relation to the term “sexual minority” without including the views of other minorities, allowing for potential bias. Citation is always important here, they mention that “many trans feel….” but this is very vague and lacking authority because you have no idea who exactly they are referring to.

• "Some transgender and transsexual people dislike the term sexual minority for yet another reason. They argue that the phenomenon of transsexuality or transgender has nothing to do with sex, sexual practices or sexual orientation, but it relates to the gender, gender dysphoria and gender-variant behavior or feelings. Thus, they feel it is incorrect to classify them as "sexual minority", when, in fact, they are gender-variant minority." Yes, and some lesbian and gay people have the same opinion, not wanting transgender people put into the same "LGBT community" and arguing for "LGB without the T".

• I think an interesting aspect that should be included in the article is society’s response to groups of sexual minorities throughout history, and how different cultures treat individuals of non-heteronormative sexualities. This could help broaden the article to not only just explain what a sexual minority is, but HOW they have made an impact in our society and how that has developed over time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmart194 (talk • contribs)

- The Controversy section is quite vague and includes the word "some" instead of providing statistical evidence or references to support what is mentioned. Yuliana Acevedo (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:41, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
