Criteria for "Gay & Lesbian Cruises"?

[SeaRedBear]

Did a quick search through the archive and didn't find this addressed.  I think my question is more for CruiseCritic admin but would appreciate if anyone knows the answer.

 

Find a Cruise search on CruiseCritic search (limited to Gay & Lesbian Cruises) results in 5,367 cruises.  What exactly are the criteria for a cruise to be considered gay & lesbian?  Presence of a charter group?  Cruise line marketing?  Friendliness/support of lines in general (so a specific line has all their cruises included in the search results)?  Destination/ports?  Self-identified guests?  On-board programming?  Number of pink flamingo pins seen onboard?

 

Seems like there could be many, many criteria that could be used and I'm curious about how CruiseCritic is defining this concept.  TIA

The title of the forum is Gay & Lesbian CruiseRs, so anyone who considers themselves part of that demographic can ask questions here?

I don't understand this response.  I'm asking about the CruiseCritic Find A Cruise search function (and not about posting this forum).  Started here as I assume at least some people in this forum use that feature and perhaps someone from CruiseCritic would see the question and respond.  Happy to ask the question elsewhere if there is more appropriate source.
