If something was tagged as specifically for gay men that was preserved under the lgbtq tags. There was no loss of information

This was not a bot edit this was done slowly and manually over a few hours

The gay tag and the lgbtq tag have the exact same semantic meaning, the gay tag however is substantially less frequently used, and is declining in usage

things that mean the same thing should be tagged the same way.

in addition a large chunk of these venues were double tagged as both gay and lgbtq which is just the same information twice

when doing on ground mapping I can only see a block at a time so when tagging info like sidewalk positions, road type, lighting, etc. I only want to be tagging the one block I actually looked at and its quite cumbersome to actually do in applications like street complete
