    Note that in oars git repo itself a lot of tags were removed because of idiots calling it “problematic” https://github.com/hughsie/oars/commit/bbb10186cbecb49252610e5604ed025df8f4c8b7

    the actual gitrepo explained why it’s neccessary, not wanted

    * `sex-homosexuality`: As of 2020,
       [various countries](https://www.humandignitytrust.org/lgbt-the-law/map-of-criminalisation/)
       have laws which criminalise lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)
       people. In order for software and content to be distributed in those
       countries without breaking the law, and possible reprisal, it is necessary to
       be able to tag software and content which contains LGBT references, so that
       it can be hidden in those countries.
       However, in other countries (for example, the EU), discrimination laws
       explicitly prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender or sexuality. So
       while LGBT tagging may be available in OARS data, consumers of that data must
       only apply it in countries where the law requires that.
