Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Writing that somebody is gay when they have used that term for themselves is in no way "offensive". Are you presuming all uses of the word "gay" are insulting, even when somebody identifies as gay? You will find most articles use this same term and do not go for the more clinical-sounding "homosexual" or "homosexuality". We do not need to be that formal—we go with how the source identifies. Besides, most people do not come out and say "I'm homosexual", they usually say "I'm gay". You also misspelt "homosexual", and I find it amusing that you seem to think calling somebody "homosexual" instead of "gay" is a "softer approach". If you have any issues going forward, please raise it at WT:LGBT. I'm sure the editors there would be curious as to how you think saying "x is gay" when x person has said they are gay is offensive.

No. I'm saying that the information given was too punch in the face. Which is funny, since is the only thing there. And, yes, I find it offensive when Gay is the only information given about any person. Sexuality doesn't define a whole of a person, but it's only a part of it. Feel free to argue or to find whatever I said out of your opinion, but Wikipedia is a page done by users, that are allowed to varied degrees of thinking. CarlosR87 (talk) 16:20, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
