So we are basing the icon on the fact that this Pokémon supposedly plays into stereotypes ...and no one else find this offensive? Besides, being transsexual or transvestite is not at all the same as being gay. If we were going for trans, {{p|Azurill}}→{{p|Marill}}is more fitting... --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 02:27, 28 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

:I agree with the OP, while [[wp:Homosexual behavior in animals|many species of animals can have homosexual tendencies]],( including {{p|Wingull|gulls}}, {{p|Psyduck|ducks}}, {{p|Girafarig|giraffes}}, and {{p|Luxray|lions}}, among others) penguins in particular are some of the best publicized, because they tend to couple for long periods of time( though {{p|Donphan|elephants}} may too), not just during mating behavior, and especially because several gay penguin couples in captivity have been given eggs and successfully hatched them and raised chicks, often being praised by zookeepers as excellent parents. One couple even had [[wp:And Tango Makes Three|a children’s book]] about them and their chick. I definitely think the best icon would be a penguin Pokémon - I am tentatively changing it – '''''we can definitely decide on something else later''''', but let’s get Seaking out of there, {{tt|not to mention those horrid colors|I realize my new color choices are a bit stereotypical, but at least they look nice... suggestions?}}. Or maybe two {{p|Empoleon}} with a {{p|Piplup}} hatching from an [[egg]] at their feet, if anyone can be bothered – Kalot? | |||

::Changes should be discussed '''before''' being done. I've changed the defaults back to the original, but the colors and image can all be changed.

:::...I thought that all the numerous comments on the page here constitute a discussion? We may not have reached an agreement yet on how it should look, but there seems to be a pretty clear agreement that the Seaking, at least, is inappropriate. Thanks for the additional variables and instructions, though. Should add them to the Bi and Trans templates too... --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 03:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
== "User Gay" versus "User Homosexual" == | |||
Just bringing this up, but we have "User Asexual" and "User Heterosexual", which makes this one the odd puppy of the three. Had "User Heterosexual" been "User Straight", maybe not so much, so can we change one? Preferably this one in case anyone bothers to add the remaining classifications of sexual orientation?

== Customizable text == | |||
Can the text on this maybe be customizable? I'm not entirely comfortable with the word "homosexual" due to its clinical history. I'd much rather be able to say "gay", or specify "lesbian".
