Yes, it's Another Apartheid Afd. However, unlike Israeli apartheid, this one doesn't look at all like a widespread term. It says "Sexual Apartheid is a term used by some same-sex rights advocates", but the references don't back this up, as the three external links all refer to Peter Tatchell. So if this article was rewritten to fit its sources, it would say "Sexual Apartheid is a term that Peter Tatchell used a couple of times", and having articles on every political catchphrase under the sun would be unnecessary forking.

- Delete - this is POV fork for many articles on this subject already in wikipedia. The only reason for this and several "apartheid" articles created by Homeontherange (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was to have the Dismabiguation page in which Homeontherange (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) can highlight the term "Israeli aparthide" in bold and hide the south africa era. All is part of an elborate scheme to make a WP:Point (while disrupting wkipedia) and turn wikipedia to what it is not. Zeq 12:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete non-notable term. It is interesting to observe that contrary to Homeontherange's view that "sexual apartheid" refers to LGBT issues, while "gender apartheid" refers to discrimination of women, the sources do not support it. For example, this Washington Post article refers to discrimination of women in Saudi Arabia as "sexual apartheid". Pecher 14:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

- Keep and expand. Term coined by Paul Hoch in 1972. According to Google Books it is in fairly wide use in academic and other circles. Google shows 17,100 results. --Ian Pitchford 15:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Reductio ad Googlum is the weakest argument possible. In fact, Google Books search does not establish the notability of the term or its meaning; extensive research using reliable sources is required to do either. The books where this phrase is found may use in various meaning, and Google search certainly says nothing as to how widely the term is accepted or whether there is any agreement regarding its meaning.

- Delete per everyone above. Just someone trying to prove a WP:POINT. -- Kicking222 15:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Homeontherange obviously created this term so that he could justify creating a obviously pov disambiguation page.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 15:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per Ian Pitchford. Homey 16:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
