– Per
WP:AND, avoid the use of "and" in article titles in ways that may appear biased.

If you think the main article should be moved from
Transgender to
Transgender people, then I would suggest that you nominate that move. But as long as the main article is located where it is, I think "transgenders" is the term we should use in the titles.

Oppose If it's simply "Christian views" on homosexuality, where do LGBTQ Christians fit into the mix? "Christian views" sounds like "Straight Christian views" if you ask me. Honestly "Views on homosexuality" is a bit objectifying and it views us as an issue or a problem as opposed to a people, a community. Instead I would like to see it retitled to
Christianity and LGBTQ People or something like that. Many LGBTQ people actually are Christian ministers and some are Bishops. Highlighting the relationship between Christianity and LGBTQ people gives space for the many "accomplishments" LGBTQ Christians have made.
TenorTwelve, can you suggest a title that does not contain the word "and"? I can support "Christian views on LGBT people". It has to be LGBT not LGBTQ per the article
LGBT.

Oppose Though the current title will not satisfy everybody, I think the title is more likely to be found by readers looking for pertinent information. In developing an encyclopedia, the priority should be making it user-friendly, even if some titles do not satisfy all groups of editors.

Oppose "Christianity and homosexuality" is broader than "Christian views on homosexuality", and this article contains discussion which falls outside the scope of the latter. @
Feminist: has also failed to explain how the use of the conjunction "and" in the title of this article makes it "appear biased".

I haven't gone through all the previous chat, so it might have been covered, but at least the implication of saying the Cathoilc Church views all sexual acts not related to procreation as sinful is a little amiss?

A very simple check of older translations finds this claim to be a lie. For example, the 1901 ASV translation says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind." Similarly in the 1917 Jewish Publication Society's translation, the 1611 King James Version, Moffat's 1935 translation, Joseph Smith's corrected translation, Lamsa's 1961 translation based on Aramaic, etc., etc.
