LGBT?

edit

I'd add LGBT-related categories but I don't see sourcing specifically confirming any self-identifiers. ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:41, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Bearcat: I assume you removed the LGBT category because 'Category:Canadian drag queens' is already applied. I see you're technically correct, but I'd argue we should not assume all drag queens are LGBT. A separate issue, we need sourcing actually confirming the subject's sexual orientation, so perhaps I should remove the category for this reason? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC) Striking last part since you removed the category again. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Regardless of what you do or don't assume about the sexuality of a drag queen, virtually all "[Nationality] drag queens" categories are currently subcategories of their country's "LGBT entertainers from [Country]" category — but articles aren't supposed to be duplicate-categorized in both parent and child categories at the same time. If you'd like to propose that we rethink the entire concept of how we categorize drag queens entirely, I'm not necessarily opposed to having that discussion — but the idea that Jackie Cox somehow needs some completely unique-to-Jackie-Cox treatment in that sense, even though no other drag queen is currently double-categorized that way, isn't really all that compelling. Her sexuality isn't really in question, given that she self-identified in show. Bearcat (talk) 21:41, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Bearcat, Ok, sounds good, thanks. I'll raise the issue with our collective assumption that all drag queens identify as LGBT elsewhere at a later date. Thanks, and happy editing (and pride!) ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:44, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
