The first translation of homosexual person, homoseksualulo, is 'Faggot'. This is pretty ridiculous to assign a slur to that word without even the use of the disparaging -aĉ- affix.

Additionally, 'queen' refers specifically to a subset of gay men, while 'homosexual' has no assumption of the person's gender, just that they are attracted to the same gender. It doesn't make sense for queen to be used here

I would suggest the entry read instead as such: homoseksualulo : homosexual person, gay person
