^^ Again, I am 99.99999% sure that without proper precautions, this page will be used for "queer content I want to complain about".

What I specifically said in the note was:  ''"Primarily" meaning that non-LGBTQ sources are allowed, but to avoid Opinion Override, if queer consensus differs from non-queer consensus, then queer consensus wins by default."''  Prefacing that statement with LGBTQ was intentional on my part.

I'll once again repeat that queer (in colloquial speech) is [[https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/queer not "confined to homosexuals".]]  As you can see, even dictionaries disagree on what it means.  Which is why I am using the entire LGBTQAI word salad to cover as many reasonable definitions of "queer" as there are.  As I said [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?type=att here]], it doesn't matter how ''we'' define the term; misuse will stem from [[IThoughtItMeant what the layperson believes "queer" means]].  And, as shimaspawn agreed above, the layperson's meaning (broad though it may be) is what we should use.
