How shall we fix the Y!A LGBT section?
So I've been typing sample question with certain key words in them, just to see where Yahoo Answers puts them. All I typed was "Question [word]" to see where it would put those specific words.
Here are the words I typed that got put into the LGBT category:
"Incest"
"Pedophilia"
"Immoral"
"Fetish"
"Polygamy"*
Yahoo Answers is associating the LGBT community with incest, pedophilia, and immorality, and implying that it is a fetish (or that only we are kinky).
So what shall we do about this? Besides the fact that it's insulting, it's also tedious to constantly see non-LGBT questions put into this section.
Also: What categories would you suggest the above words be put into instead?
Yahoo, are you ever going to put this with the open questions?
I made a suggestion to Y!A that they fix this. Support the answer here: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&...
Hopefully if they have enough people supporting that, they'll change it.

I would make the suggestion that such questions be placed somewhere else on Yahoo! Answers Suggestion Board.
