Article cleanup problems to be solved

It is unclear what criteria is being used for what should be a section. Many of the current sections could be merged (such as the sections on GLAD, HRC, and similar organizations being under a section called "Legal organizations"). Most, if not all sections, should be rewritten to be more concise. I think that to reorganize the sections, chronological order should be used.

There's multiple issues with tone throughout, and should be revised to use a formal tone. The citation style is inconsistent and many of the citations are probably unnecessary. The lead section could be expanded upon.

I think the most major issue that should be tackled first is the number of sections. --WhirlWithoutEnd (talk) 08:22, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MERGE?

Seems like a candidate for merging into LGBT rights in the United States. I'm not seeing why they should be split. "Movements" is a pretty vague term. Another alternative could be to shift to "LGBT activism in the United States". Zenomonoz (talk) 23:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should remain as is. LGBT rights in the United States is too long as it is and while there is some redundant content, it would still make the article harder to navigate. "LGBT activism in the United States" is better, but this article should probably be kept in line with LGBT movements. Obviousalchemist (talk) 00:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been considering this more and maybe this could be merged with LGBT history in the United States ? The majority of this article is the history section and LGBT history in the United States seems to be lacking in the time period covered by this article.
