I agree, these are matters of exclusion and inclusion - who plays the game in which way and from the point of view of desire, specifically, the way women desire in a safe-ish place, it's fascinating.
But queer desire is marginalised still and despite the two differing ones crashing, there's a difference between having queer desire and being marginalised for being queer, there is overlap, but fandom is a place of all kinds of people.
I remember that campaign and was very offended by it, from the point of view that it was using LGBT rights discourse in order to promote their favourite ship, which, excuse me, what?!
I get you on the erasure of fluidity and bisexuality, it's a complex narrative that many do not get.

And yay! I'll add you back.
