I concur with Kal, it's kind of like creating categories for ethnicity. While we differentiate between basline humans, Eternals, Inhumans, and mutants, these descriptors are fictional races. We don't categorize characters as being black, or white, or Asian. We'll list what country they are born in but that's as far as we go when it comes to categorizing.

I don't identify people by ethnicity or sexual orientation, I identify them as humans.. Except for when they are not :P

As for using the word itself on the Wiki... I think it should still be used in the proper context. For example: If a character is quoted using a term (which, is possible in publications prior to the term being considered discriminatory) or in the context that the use of the word is frowned upon. An analogous example would be the use of the n-word. It has been used in a derogatory fashion in a handful of Marvel comics over the years, but always used by a character who is clearly being racist and they are published in a negative light. (A great pair example is and  where the words are used, but the usage is immediately frowned upon at least by characters in the story or the general narrative of the story) I think we should take that approach when using the term "homosexual" in the future.
