I'm not using it since I still feel like mine is stronger on Fantasy (maybe if the second genre was non-premium), but it's pretty nice. I just hope people won't turn up their noses at the LGBTQ+ since a lot of binge-readers go for the other two for the quick to digest romance.
They’re offering the second genre for non-Premium works too!
And lastly, coming a little later this year will be the introduction of the two genre categorization system for community series. Creators will be able to assign a primary genre to their series along with a secondary genre to help contextualize the story.
i'm excited about the fact we are going to be allowed to put 2 genres... now lets push for the co-creator feature >:l
I hope they keep adding them. I'd like Tapas to have Superhero and Webtoon to have BL / GL and both to have more. I know a lot of these genre are overlapping but I'd really like more genres all around 
Hot dang! Well, I wouldn't be part of the collection until this is live, but it's good to look foward to that!
It's a good inclusion. I'm not personally excited for it as it doesn't really affect me or my work. But I'm kind of surprised that they didn't just already have it
Well, generally, the more categories - the better. I'm particularly glad to see GL 
However, I'm not sure, why do we need LGBTQ+ and I don't understand, which comics will fall into this category. I understand, that "BL" and "GL" both are just gender-specific sub types (sub genres?) of Romance in essence (while "romance" genre on Tapas is used in a narrow sense, like heterosexual romance, which makes these genres distinct). But what "LGBTQ+" is about?
Is it just about a presence of LGBTQ+ characters? But in this case, I don't understand why does it need to be put into specific category. Moreover, there are a LOT of comics, featuring them, but already having another genre and another strong theme.
Or, maybe, it means, that the plot is concentrated on the problems of LGBTQ+ people, conjugated with their orientation/gender? But there are too few works, concentrating on this topic. It doesn't look as a genre for me either. 
Or it's about romance between LGBTQ+ characters? But we already have romance for homo- and bi- sexual characters in BL and GL. So it should be about TQ+ only? 
yeah, i had a paragraph explaining how i think the genre is too vague or shouldnt be a genre because of that main reason but imma keep my mouth shut incase someone takes it the wrong way
Very excited to hear about the sub genre addition 
I feel like almost (if not) every story could benefit from that to various degrees.
I assume it's to cover all the other sexualities not strictly BL GL or straight? To cover all the bases? It does seem weird to lump Ace and Pan into the same territory, and I feel like people who want their searches to be better prefer more specific genres, but it's a step forward, I guess.
I'm pretty happy about these new changes, but I gotta admit I'm a bit bummed that the two genres option isn't going to be available until later rather than releasing both changes at the same time. I'm excited to be able to include the LGBTQ+ genre for my comic, but as several people are already kinda noting, it makes more sense as a secondary genre. It would be nice to be able to keep my comic in Fantasy while adding LGBTQ+ so that people looking for that sort of story can more easily find it. But I'm glad that doing so will be an option soon. ^_^
i figured the distinction was made clear about that here in the email
While we recognize BL or GL and LGBTQ+ genres are not always mutually exclusive, we are being mindful of certain portrayals within these genres that we’d like to keep separate from the LGBTQ+ genre. We believe that it’s incredibly important for creators to have the freedom and flexibility to self identify the genre of their series and want to create more safe spaces for creators to tell their stories.
the tropes and content differ so like you can kinda tell what's a bl/yaoi story from a story that contains or focuses on an mlm relationship
Yes. Finally. The Tapastic gods have heard my prayers!
Now hurry up and add an "Other" and "Superhero" genre tag, for Pete's Sake!
I'm really happy about this for this specific reason. I put my comic in BL because it felt somewhat more accurate than Romance in general, but it doesn't really follow the BL/yaoi tropes. I spent a lot of time on picking a genre because the options that were available all seemed to come with typical trope expectations that didn't really fit my story. I'm hoping I can reclass my comic to LGBTQ+ when that's available, because I think it would be much more accurate.
LGBT+ sort of stands in as an umbrella term both to describe a group of people and as a genre term. I have been publishing online since 2012 and have noticed that the standard genre tag is "LGBT+" on pretty much every other publishing site. It really surprised me when tapas didnt offer that at all. LGBT+ can include a wide variety of stories beyond just the tropey romance which BL (and to a certain extent, GL) has come to represent. It can include more serious/realistic gay romance, ownvoices stories (the story of what it is like to /be/ trans or gay etc), stories with multiple romances of multiple sexualites, stories about people who are not lesbian or gay but are trans and asexual and so on, stories more about politics/fighting for rights, and yes, stories that contain LGBT+ characters but maybe not romance. On my other online stores I often debate if i should use it as a main genre or subgenre tag, but here I couldn't use it at all, and that was very frustrating to me 
. I think this tag really can help readers who want LGBT+ focused stories but maybe not the tropes of BL and GL (which i don't really have anything against, I like to write those tropes too lol). But I have been considering posting my more serious m/m/f poly romance/mystery novel and really just needed that LGBT+ tag. I did not want to just lump it into BL and call it a day
Anyway, I hope that helps to clarify about why this genre tag is useful! Maybe you'll peruse it one day and find some good stories
