As I said in my comments on the other post, I'm elated that you're even thinking about kink and poly as sexual minorities. However, I'm not going to encourage you to hold to that if other people are uncomfortable with it.
An agreeable solution might be to pull kink/fetish/BDSM and poly out as another axis (or other axes) of non-normative sexualities rather than grouping them together with partner's sex/gender-based queer sexualities, which seems to be the objection in mresundance's comments. I don't want to replicate the border policing this community is trying to address by excluding kink/poly (as identities or as practices which do not dictate the entirety of a person's identity or way of living) for being "too sexual", but I agree that they're not identical with LGBA sexualities (it's an and, not an or).
I also wonder whether sex workers ought to be included here somewhere? Not to imply that sex work is necessarily a sexual identity, but to acknowledge that sex workers, like queer folks and BDSMers, are in fact people, not defined solely by a confluence of career and sexual practice.
If this comment doesn't make sense I blame bleach fumes.
