Beginning thoughts[edit]
As a serial categorizer, I've noticed a need for a category on LGBT businesses, but not sure what to call it. To follow other structures, there would be Category:LGBT Economy and then other stuff under it LGBT Companies etc. The media companies like The Advocate have a place in LGBT related media, but three are others that could use an LGBT business category.
For a past discussion on the topic see this discussion of improving coverage of LGBT businesses and companies
Possibilities are: Category:LGBT Economy
Of course the criteria would also be that it had to be a company that targeted the LGBT audiences and not a company that merely had LGBT ownership (thought that could be a different category.
