Asexuals and demisexuals aren't inherently LGBT, thus they do not belong in this template. Tdmurlock (talk) 20:04, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. Asexual and demisexual people are subject to related discrimination and misunderstanding as sexual minorities and thus belong under the LGBTQ umbrella. Thisisnotatest (talk) 20:45, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I believe the community is moving toward use of LGBTQ+ as an acronym, and would like to see this here. Thisisnotatest (talk) 20:46, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

There is a note 11 but not a note 12. Romania is marked with note 12 and no country is marked with note 11. Is Romania actually note 11? Thisisnotatest (talk) 20:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Add African-American LGBT community to culture section. 2600:6C50:7EF0:71E0:511F:3D4E:C2A1:F2C7 (talk) 06:25, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

•  Not done: - this template is for a general overview on LGBT topics. There is a whole separate category of Category:LGBT by location and Category:LGBT culture by location which otherwise would also have to be added, which would make this template even bigger than it already is.

However, I’m adding it to the more appropriate more precise template target being Template: LGBT in the United States
