No banning words. Enough words are disappearing in our language to do being unused as it is...there's no need to remove perfectly good ones. I think distinction need to remain as a gay relationship isn't necessarily going to need the same advice as a straight one due to *cringe* lifestyle and culture differences. Sure you can infer bisexuality by someone talking about a love triangle with a guy and a girl but I don't see a need to remove the usage of perfectly good adjectives to help blur the lines of sexuality. Sexual lines are clearly drawn in the real world and we discuss real world problems and relationships. It may be useful to know I'm talking to a gay man than a girl since I would have different advice for the girl from my point of view as a straight man.
I see no bias or stigma on this board against non-straight ppl and I don't see any being tolerated in the future by the mods or the members. To some being gay or even straight is part of their identity, an identity they might have struggled to accept in their lives, and you shouldn't take that away from those ppl in the interest of ending bias. You have one of the least biased boards in existence that I know of. In my experience the more things you ban the less you have to talk about.
