| Hi Scientiom. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Misplaced Pages, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See ''']''' for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved.

| Hi Scientiom, shouldn't this article be renamed to homosexual propaganda? That would be the ] after all since we don't call homophobia non-heterosexuality and since this title seems biased to me. | |||

| Hay, we are going back and forth on this, and I think we should really figure out some form of consensus. My consern is that having "scientific consensus" take up over half the lede doesn't faithfully represent the article, and can be seen as against ].

| :Yep, I noted your point and went ahead and trimmed it well. Although a short sentence or two would be inappropriate as WP:WEIGHT, WP:VALID, and especially WP:PSCI (very importantly: "''An explanation of how scientists have received pseudoscientific theories should be <u>prominently included</u>''") means that we give significant prominence to what the global scientific community says in regard to a very controversial issue about which scientific organizations have cautioned about. --] (]) 14:12, 14 March 2013 (UTC) | |||

| :::I've amended my reply, if you could have a look at it. I've already vastly trimmed the lead, and to do so any further would be in violation of WP:PSCI/WP:WEIGHT/WP:VALID, all which obviously apply to both the body and the lead. Especially important here is WP:PSCI, and I quote once again from this policy: ''"An explanation of how scientists have received pseudoscientific theories should be <u>prominently included</u>"''.
