It goes back to a time when the term "homosexual" was used in a clinical context to describe it as a mental illness. It is also often used as a derogatory term by anti-gay figures. You have a good point, that "gay" can be used negatively...but the difference is that "homosexual" is always offensive in any context. It's comparable to the term "colored".

Also, I don't see a need to separate into male and female. I think "Gay and Lesbian Characters" would suffice.

I guess my final question is, will the category be changed or will the process begin to decide on whether it will be changed?
