Location of LGBT part

[edit]

I placed the "LGBT" after the African-American making the article's title "List of African American LGBT" I placed the LGBT in front in order to be consistent with this article African-American LGBT community which I consider to be its parent. Should the "LGBT" be in back making the title "List of LGBT African American" Freethemindfull (talk) 03:57, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Because it's a list of people and we don't call people LGBTs. We do call them African Americans. LGBT is only going to work as an adjective, modifying the plural noun. It's really the same logic as to why we have a List of LGBT Jews and not a List of Jewish LGBT. So really it's grammar rather than our naming policy -- my mistake there. But if you still disagree I won't move it. Someone else might though. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:32, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
