Talk:List of reportedly LGBTQ heads of state throughout history

Potential titles and scope

I just created this article, and I'm wondering if it would be a better scope or more accurate title if the article was called something different like List of deceased heads of state reported to be LGBTQ or something similar. All the currently listed individuals are deceased. Any thoughts? I also know the initialism LGBTQ uses a modern conception of sexuality and gender, so it's tricky to put historical figures in boxes, especially when it's difficult to prove gender or sexual identity and expression. Maybe something like List of deceased heads of state reported to be sexual or gender minorities? Also some of them didn't seem to have been very closeted, like it was an open secret, or ignored. Should I change the term closeted? Is there a non-cumbersome way to reflect that nuance in the title with a change or should I keep it as is? Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

Might be good to bring this question specifically to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies, I think folks there would have a lot of opinions / might be willing to help expand/split the article. ForsythiaJo (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Proposed inclusions

I'm just going to proposes some inclusions here: Ali of the Eretnids, Duke Ling of Wey, Xicomecoatl, Ismail II, Khải Định, Puyi.

All are in Category:LGBTQ heads of state and have sourced information on their reported LGBTQ status in their articles. Mason7512 (talk) 22:31, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
