I think I'm hearing you make a distinction in your comment between sexual minorities whose preferences are organized around partner's sex/gender (homosexual, bisexual, etc.) and sexual minorities whose preferences are organized around another dimension (kink, BDSM, fetish, etc). It seems like you use queer solely for the first group and not the second; is that correct?
Can you explain what your concern is about having the first group and the second group presented together under the umbrella term "sexual minorities" without further distinctions? It'll help me figure out how to handle this if I understand whether this is a semantic distinction you're trying to make, or if there's an outcome you're worried about should both groups of sexual minorities be presented without any kind of differentiation.

Thanks for taking the time to weigh in.
