After discussion amongst the GLBT forum moderators and the Community Director, the descriptor of the forum was updated to:

Share your tips, recommendations and advice on Gender and Sexual Diversities travel.

The name of the forum remains GLBT. GSD is still a relatively unknown initialism and would decrease traffic to the forum. The updated descriptor hopefully increases inclusiveness.

Some updated use is "LGBTQ".

It seems IMO to have been dealt with well in this instance.

This sounds to me like a good decision.

Does this now mean that the forum is also to host threads specific to travel by polyamorous/polygamous persons?

I think that would fall under Group Travel.
