"Homosexual" wording
[edit]Hello, Tha1uw4nt. Regarding this edit you made, I reverted because, as I stated in this edit summary, I was avoiding that word per this discussion. But, as also seen in my revert, I added in "straight" to balance out the usage. While the terms are informal, they are also used by many researchers both in spoken and written language, so using them in an encyclopedia -- Wikipedia in this case of course -- in place of "heterosexual" and "homosexual" respectively is fine, especially since they are WP:Pipelinked to the Heterosexuality and Homosexuality articles.

Veganism
[edit]Rather than edit warring, why not join in the discussion on the veganism talk page and try and change the consensus. Martin Hogbin (talk) 09:58, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
