I thought it would be worth giving a head's up on this attempt to stop me from openly complaining on Wikimedia Commons when abusive anti-LGBT language or inappropriate turning of discussion into LGBT related trolling occurs: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Use...
I am one of the most well known openly gay contributors to Commons, possibly the most well known on that project. This requested topic ban is from someone who has been pestering me for a few years, recently culminating with calling me a "raging gay". It'll be interesting to see if the WMF policies against harassment can make any difference to the censorship of LGBT contributors that are being griefed in this way. It's a sad day when LGBT contributors are not given any process to make open complaints that can be discussed by the wider community.
