Needs Rewording

The article reads, 'This article discusses issues related to sexual orientation and medicine including medical associations's positions on LGBT issues, and historical timeline regarding medical acceptance of the concept of sexual orientation and related issues.' This sentence is not grammatical, and does not make complete sense. Skoojal (talk) 04:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problem solved....... Article has been split off to Timeline of sexual orientation and medicine, List of LGBT medical organizations (which was already split off), and the final third (medical associations with policy related to sexual orientation) merged into a section in sexual orientation as there didn't seem to be enough content to merit its own article. As good intentioned as the article may have been, it was pretty scattered as far as its mission and scope. hopefully this will work better. --User0529 (talk) 04:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
