Spelling?[edit]

Propose to move to "International Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Youth and Student Organization," as it is written on official website. Dkreisst 08:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: When I type in iglyo.com I get an organization named "International Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Youth and Student Organization" on a site that I would think is the official website, except for the fact that on a google search a site comes up with the introduction "This is the IGLYO Homepage," which leads to a page [2] for an organization named "The International Lesbian and Gay Youth Organisation." I am not familiar with either of these organizations, but my guess is that the first is a more modern name change of the second one, and that they are actually the same organization.

Dear Dkreisst,

You're right, it is the same organisation whose title evolved with time to include wider issues than only gay and lesbian (hence the Bi, Trans, Queer and Student). Its official website is www.iglyo.com, and some Google results are outdated.

Regarding the correct spelling, it's well with an "S" in "Organisation". This change happened a while ago, when the organisation decided to use British English as a working language. The "Z" on the official webpage is an internally-recognised misspelling, which should be corrected quickly. I changed the title back to its correct form, and moved the page accordingly.

Perfect! Thanks for clearing up my confusion. Dkreisst 07:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your other question regarding the order in the title, between "International L, G..." and "International G, L...", IGLYO's name used to be "International Gay and Lesbian Youth Organisation", but it now became "International Lesbian, Gay, etc.", to fit the order in the widely-used abbreviation "LGBTQ". Best wishes, Meso 19:50, 26 March 2007 (CET)

Great, thanks again. Dkreisst 00:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
