Frankly, the queer community would like to be known as
people. Who we fuck hasn't got a helluva a lot to do with anything else, as a general rule. It's a heteronormative culture, and frankly, there is a preference that the gender of our bedmate not come into it at all.
From a porn perspective, it's preferred that it be niche specific - lumping it as "gay" isn't technically accurate, anyhow, 'cos you might notice that "gay" is strictly dickly. Where do dykes and genderfuck fall in that binary system? Out in the world away from porn, "gay" encompasses LGBT and all the shades along that spectrum (current generational norms prefer the taking-it-back iterations of historically derogative terminology) - our industry doesn't, as a whole, provide for those gradations, and as such, it's preferred we just leave them the hell alone and let them tell us what the categories are.
If I had my druthers, I'd go w/ who's fucking/ being fucked rather than pigeonhole something like a pretty fluid concept like sexuality.
