Legality and censorship section

This section just repeats what has already been said and is not expanded in a way that adds any usefulness to the article.

Its contents also doesn't seem to justify the use of the word censorship in the heading title. PitterPatter533 (talk) 00:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Conspiracy"

This article claims that the idea of a gay lobby is a conspiracy theory and does not exist, but how do you explain organizations like Human Rights Campaign, ILGA-Europe, Stonewall for example? Shoshin000 (talk) 08:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shoshin000: The article does not say that pro-LGBTQ lobbying does not exist, or that it is a conspiracy theory. It says: According to the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, advocating for LGBT rights could accurately be called lobbying, but the term Schwulen-Lobby ('gay lobby') is insulting because it is used to suggest a powerful conspiracy which does not actually exist. I think that is a fine summary of the source. Do you disagree? -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 11:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I misread it as "could not accurately be called lobbying" Shoshin000 (talk) 13:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
