Propose we change either List Title (preferable) or List description. (June, 2025)

Several current List Titles include the term Gay where the list is intended to be M/M.
Examples:
Best Gay Shifters
Best Gay Historical Romance
Best Gay Cops/ Security Guards/P.I.'s
Favorite Gay Couples

GAY refers to preference to a partner of same sex including male and female. There are currently LGBTQ+ lists and F/F lists where the title reflects the subject/content of books in the list. However Gay lists exist where the books include F/F and/or LGBTQ+.

I suggest to rename lists to replace GAY with M/M where appropriate or at minimum the list description clearly states books should be exclusively M/M.
Personally, I believe the List title be changed rather than hope readers read the description.

Users can title their lists whatever they like.
