I was just wondering, does anyone know if this page needs citations for the events that link to other big articles? We already have a few references at the bottom as well. I understand if we do need them, I'm just wondering. Andral (talk) 04:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Ally Week

Why is Ally Week included in the list of LGBT Holidays? Allies are allied with the community, not part of it. Linuxdemon (talk) 17:44, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

  • You don't need to be that technical. Per article lead, "Ally Week is a national youth-led effort empowering students to be allies against anti-LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) bullying, harassment and name-calling in K-12 schools, it is also used in some colleges." It is obviously an event related to the LGBT community. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 04:52, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Ace Day

What does "made up holiday" even mean? All holidays were made up at some point. Ace Day is officially endorsed by AVEN (Asexual Visibility and Education Network, for those of you who do not know) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.43.41.182 (talk) 17:27, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

There was no reason to delete Ace Day just because the article was removed. Ace Day is still a valid holiday, recognised by the asexual community and AVEN (the main ace organization). Ace day is important and significant because it helps to bring visibility to a practically invisible community Linuxdemon (talk) 16:30, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Again, by what standard is "Ace Day" a "widespread movement"? The primary notability criterion is coverage by reliable third-party sources. So, has it been commented upon by the media or other sources? From a Google search, the phrase seems to be used on blogs and other social media, and that's all about it.

    Even though I may sympathize with your movement, Wikipedia is not a place to "bring visibility to a practically invisible community". It is meant to be an encyclopedia, which is a compendium of existing knowledge, not a means of something known. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 04:48, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Is this a satisfactory example of media coverage? I don't know how mainstream that site is, but it's not an asexual-specific website. There is also this article on Pride.com. Granted neither of these are sources for the date of the event anymore, since it's been moved to November, but they are sources for the event's existence.

Rename (2015): Holiday?

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Reasonable suggestion, unopposed for over a week. Jenks24 (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2015 (UTC)


Some of these, days of remembrance especially, shouldn't be called "holidays". It just feels wrong - aren't holidays for having fun? I suggest a move to "List of LGBT awareness days" instead. Sophie means wisdom (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Gatekeeping of the A

There's been a bunch of edits regarding asexuality and its inclusion on this page. A few users seem to be trying to use this page to project their own personal opinion, and WP isn't the place for that. Here's an example (first paragraph): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_LGBT_awareness_days&oldid=840041391. Let's not do that. Zionyx (talk) 07:09, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

International Lesbian Day

The Wikipedia page for "October 8" lists International Lesbian Day. Should this be added here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.164.160.2 (talk) 11:47, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Issue with name of article

I have an issue with the name of this article, but I'm not sure how to change it. I dislike the fact that it is titled with the term LGBT, since there are a variety of other terms used, quite rightly, to describe days which do not fit under this acronym. I think it should be a simple fix from LGBT to LGBTQ+ or something of the like. Again, I'm just not sure how. Thanks. 2A00:23C5:DFA3:F101:F5F0:3015:6375:A24F (talk) 21:19, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

"Nonbinary Awareness Week" and "Non-Binary Week"

With the last couple of edits there are now entries for both "Nonbinary Awareness Week" and "Non-Binary Week". -Lopifalko (talk) 08:38, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Asexuality Day

This was just added, and all that the citations link to is one site. Is this day actually widespread/recognized enough to be put on here?

I'd say it definitely is recognized enough, 2a02:a44f:2afa:1:2ca4:db51:3d3a:f98a, although it could use more sources, as there is a YouTube channel for it and a Twitter account for it. There is even a Newsweek article about it, along with articles on Indy100, The Guardian, AZ Magazine, and elsewhere. --Historyday01 (talk) 15:41, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
