Template talk:Homosexuality (view source)

:You make a good point about running into images, but I think if the template is cut down then those problems will be kept to a minimum - see [[template:Homosexuality and health]] and [[template:Bible]] for examples that work well. The trouble with a bottom template in this case is that several of the articles (especially the main Homosexuality one) are so long that people probably won't see it.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 07:07, 4 November 2008 (EST)

::The main reason it's on the side is to show the "crossroads" photograph, implying that homosexuals are faced with a choice: to continue their self-destructive lifestyle or to struggle to find a way out. [[Alcoholism]] may be considered "a disease", but that's no excuse for showing up drunk at work; and [[Alcoholics Anonymous]] has a practical and highly successful plan to help those who wish to change.
::There are some topics which deserve links at the bottom, but a controversial subject like homosexuality needs them on the side - where users can click without having to get to the bottom. Homosexuality is a complex subject, with a lot of misinformation adding to the confusion.
::Can we side links for [[global warming]], too? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:35, 4 November 2008 (EST)
