Love it! Gay might not be the most inclusive label if you are aiming for LGBT folks (I'm queer but not gay), but hey, better to have this than not have this by a long ways!
We spent several days thinking in a better name. We decided to keep this one, but we know at some point we will need to change it. This was more of a SEO strategy; to be more readable; and to stay easily in the mind.
For example: If it was "mylgbtqflatmate" would be so difficult to understand.
We understand that not everyone identifies as "gay" and we don't want to focus only in that segment.
Do you have any suggestion you would like to give? We would love to listen new ideas!! :D
You also see folks specifically omit the T these days (LBG) to specifically include trans folks.
To be clear, the OP sounds like they are a good person and I'm not accusing them of anything negative! Just noting that some folks might interpret the URL differently than intended.
In general, I don't mind queer folks calling me queer, but I really bristle when I hear cishet folks use it.
