I feel as if ] should be listed as a sexual orientation rather than under related terms -- many pansexuals view their identity as its' own distinct orientation and numerous LGBT groups list it as such. ] (]) 22:24, 19 June 2021 (UTC) |

:It's about the difference between ] and sexual orientation. Non-academic sources sometimes conflate the terms, as people may in common speech, but they are not the same.

I have reverted edits that add ] and ] to the template.() This is clearly overgranular, and Nijikon is not widely accepted as a sexual orientation, but I would also like to question whether Fictosexuality is even a genuine subject at all.

*'''Unsure'''. What would be the reason for including Queer Studies but not Conversion therapy? The case for including conversion therapy would surely be about as strong. ] (]) 04:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |

:*'''Comment'''. At another time such a discussion would work but since we've gone through a lot of discussion on very similar lines, (If A and B is there then so should C), let's try just one at a time so we can keep things more productive. I think having a discussion about scope would be helpful but until that occurs maybe just start a new thread proposing '']'' if you wish to do so. ] 07:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |

::*If you're going to take that view, then I'm shifting my position to opposed, although it's a weak opposed, not a strong opposed. I doubt that Queer Studies has much to do with research into sexual orientation per se - it's more about gay culture. I'll still support this version of the template even if Queer Studies is included, however. ] (]) 08:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |
|
|
:::* The view I'm taking is that we have wound up a lot of energy by bundling and contrasting article A verses article B. I think it's more constructive to include or not include something based on the article itself. Before I rewrote '']'' I wouldn't have wanted it included but now it's a much better and clearer article so its inclusion works. If all the articles were in better condition, IMHO, we'd have an easier time sorting which ones should obviously be included or not. ] 08:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |

:::::'''Comment'''. look, I think we need to keep in mind that this is a '''template'''. it needs to do (at least) the following things |

:::::#provide links to articles that discuss prominent and accepted academic work on sexual orientation |

:::::'Queer Studies' probably belongs in the second point, just because a lot of the work on sexual orientation would have fallen in that category. 'Conversion Therapy' might fall under the third point, if it's significant enough, but I tend to see it as just one bit of a broader discussion about the moral nature of homosexuality (i.e., the greater argument is that homosexuality is primarily mental and morally questionable, and ConvTher is a tool that works within that paradigm). we should paint in broad strokes on templates - are there any articles about the debate over what homosexuality is that might be used instead of the specific conversion therapy reference? --] 01:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC) |

|
::::::Actually conversion therapy would fall under all of those categories, except for number 1. ] (]) 06:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC) |
|

:::::::Agreed. The moral nature of homosexuality is not even discussed very much on the conversion therapy page. It discusses (1) prominent and accepted aspects of whether sexual orientation can be changed. (2) Academic work on the methods used in the past and present, as well as studies on the rates of harm and successful change of sexual orientation. (3) Political debate surrounding whether to deny people the right to seek to change sexual orientation. (4) Positions of various gay activist groups and religious organizations. I think conversion therapy is at the heart of sexual orientation because it delves into what exactly sexual orientation is and what people think about it. ] (]) 06:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC) |

::::::::interesting... part of the problem here is that the ] page isn't really about 'conversion therapy'. it's a well-written but badly named article that covers a range of issues around societal responses to homosexuality. I wouldn't mind linking that article, but I'm put off by the name. could we link it to the the subsection ], and call it 'malleability of orientation'?. honestly, I think that 'conversion therapy' should be renamed and merged with the ] stub that CJ made (so that efforts to change orientation are put in context with the various efforts to understand orientation...). --] 21:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Comment'''. Thank you all for proving my point that it might be more constructive to simply debate one article at a time instead. This is excellent discussion and I suggest that a new thread be started for each article someone thinks should be included. ] 11:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC) |

We have a link to ]. I think we should also include ]. From what I have read, most medical associations believe sexual orientation comes from a combination of biology and environment. It would be POV to prefer one over the other. ] (]) 00:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC) |

I believe that under the "orientations" section of this template, the heterosexual-homosexual continuum should be clearly distinguished from the other orientations on the template. I would like to here other opinion . thanks = ¬], and the template to the right is an example of what i am talking about. <font size=3><b>--] (]) 23:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)</b></font> |

:'''Oppose''' The hetero-homo article has a number of issues including a lack of citations and possibly original research. Additionally, the article appears to be simply a restatement of the definition of ] and the ], both of which already appear on the template and are in much better shape. Adding it to the template would be ] and would not add any new information that isn't contained in the articles that already appear on the template. ] (]) 23:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC) |

::If you believe it is original research, i recommend you read the references or maybe take a look on google, because it clearly isn't. And by way, the references of the actual sexual orientation article clearly states the same thing as the continuum, i recommend you read the references of the orientation article as well.<font size=2><b>--] (]) 00:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)</b></font> Oh wait, just took a peak at the article again, it has a reference from the American Phycological society, the same site used for the sexual orientation article, so i ask you remove your appeasement and reassess your opinion on the matter, because i have just made your statements a falsity.<font size=2><b>--] (]) 00:48, 25 September 2008 (UTC)</b></font> |

* '''Oppose'''. Basically what Queerudite states, that article needs a lot of work. I'd feel more confident in an article about sexual orientation in general and research concerning such and we do seem to have those already. ]</small>'' 10:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC) |

== current "orientations" section in violation wikipedia policy, ] == |
|
|
|
|
|
The current version of the "orientation" section is in clear violation with wikipedia policy involving the proper procedure and rights of assembling a list (]). |
|
|
|
|
|
Among a laundry lists of violations this template infringes by having a bialy selected list, i will state the most major and apparent violations bellow. |
|
|
|
|
|
:''"Don't leave readers confused over the list's inclusion criteria or have editors guessing what may be added to the list."'' |
|
|
This biasly selected list by a group of users dominated with their own personal agendas to surpress and blind knowledge contradicts on of the primary and fundamental rules of listing. |
|
|
|
|
|
:''"It should not be asserted that the most popular view or some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one."'' |
|
|
Why is the current list so limited?, why do some users feel as though they have the right to violate this rule and force their ideologies on to the template? Once again this template is in clear violation of a neutral-point-view, one of the main arguments for having such a limited "pick-and-choice" list was "those terms are not popular or well known". This logic is no longer, and has never been, a valid argument, and it is appalling that it was used and prevailed as the major factor for decision making in such a sensitive and emotional article. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have made it quite obvious that this version has no right, and shall not continue, to be in use, a newer, more neutral, version is required. The only morally right thing to do would be to add '''all''' orientations to the list. {{unsigned|Cooljuno411}} |
|
|
|
|
|
:Just to try to address the more apparent problems with this position. This is a template and not a list. We have included the most common orientations our readers would expect to see - no reason to include the neologism ] - if that is what this is all about. ] 10:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC) |
