Wattpad finally listened and added the LGBTQ genre tag we demanded. It is a massive victory for our community that they could no longer ignore our pressure. Keep tagging your stories because we are watching to ensure they don't backtrack.

Wattpad should have a LQBTQ genre, allowing users to locate new stories, build up the community, and bring more awareness to new writers.

I think that the LGBTQ community on wattpad is huge and deserves to be recognized, I request this in a respectful way. Please do this, as an LGBTQ writer on wattpad it would mean a lot. Love wins! Thanks!
Coming from someone who is gay ( me ) I think it would be better to have this as a genre then constantly having to search for them mind you that takes me hours
Every public and school library, as well as all larger book stores list LGBTI as a genre. Failure to do so can easily be construed as being homophobic.
I never really noticed that their wasn't a lgbt category until someone pointed it out. And now I realized how I always had to type in boyxboy or lesbian in the search bar to get the story I want to read. And now that I know of this problem I thinks unfair and unreasonable. So a lgbt category would be great to add. Thank you!
I just want to say this is an amazing thing you are trying to accomplish. I may be a female who is only into guys but I still support this. Anyone should be able to write, talk, or express what they want about it on wattpad or anywhere else. It might even help others. I hope I helped some. Good luck!
I'm glad you're still fighting.
The people that are a part of the LGBT+ community are truly the bravest and stronger people in the world.

As an LGBTQ+ writer I believe books with LGBTQ+ themes deserve they're own section to be found easier by readers as they deserve as much credit as sci-fi,romance novels,etc
