Would it be beneficial to re-name this page to something like "Mental health of LGBTQ people"? The current name of "Mental disorders and LGBTQ" could give off the implication to some people when they see it linked on other pages that its insinuating that LGBTQ people have or are prone to having mental disorders because of their sexuality or that their sexuality or gender identity is/are a result of a mental disorder or other implications relating to causation which could be deemed offensive. "Mental health of LGBTQ people" could be a more neutral way of naming this page without such unnecessary implications. Helper201 (talk) 00:00, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your point that the current name of the article can be easily misunderstood. On a new name, I would like to see other proposals as well, apart from "Mental health of LGBTQ people". Ktrimi991 (talk) 00:38, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I like your proposal, "Mental health of LGBTQ people". The current title using LGBTQ as a noun like that does sound strange and a little demeaning. Like imagine we had an article called "Mental disorders and Black". – Anne drew03:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
