Stonewall riots article

With this edit, I explained reverting you. I stated: The sections are mainly about homosexuality or gay men and lesbians; so changing the wording to "LGBTQ+" as if it's a synonym is a no. Yes, "gay" was often used to refer to the LGBT community as a whole, but these sources, for example, Deitcher, p. 74, are mainly focused on gay men and lesbians. See WP:STICKTOTHESOURCE.

I did go ahead and use "gay men" instead "gays." And "gay men and lesbians" or "homosexual people" instead of "homosexuals" for the spots I spotted. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 07:25, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And given how broad "LGBT" can be these days (for example, sometimes including asexual people), it's best to state "gay men and lesbians" when the sources use that wording or similar. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 07:27, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
