Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality/Terminology

The terminology section of the Sexology and Sexuality WikiProject should determine guidelines suggesting the least offensive most neutral (NPOV) terminology to use in naming and writing articles about sexuality including sexology. It should present pros and cons for various uses of various terms, this should be condensed from the talk page. These should be followed by different proposals by various users such as "Wikipedia should never use the word gay" or "Wikipedia should always use the word gay".

Articles should exist (or redirect and discussed on the redirected page) for all terms which are used (as there is an article for bitch, even though it is offensive). However, Wikipedia may also discuss what those terms describe on a more neutral, general, accurate, and descriptive level with multi-word terms. Terms which are ordinarily non-offensive neutral and accurate may be used in ways which make them offensive, POV, and inaccurate. Thus guidelines may have to be established for the use of each term.
