Can an application be rejected only contain the word "gay"?

A few months ago appeared on the AppStore Jack'd application, a network dedicated exclusively to the gay community. The application was approved and has been available for several weeks until a few days ago has been removed from the store.

The developer requested an explanation from Apple and the reason is that many of the images left by users are sexually explicit and not fit with Apple's policy. The developer gave the reason Apple went to work in an update allows you to block users who post photos "unfit."

When going to present this update, surprise, i Tunes Connect displays a message (shown in the picture above) which says that the application could be rejected because it contains the word is not recommended: "gay."

The issue is causing a scandal, as the developer accused Apple of "homophobia", but in reality these terms imply non-approval if they appear in the description in order to avoid insulting phrases also descriptions of applications in the App Store.

If you make a gay network, how describe it without using the word gay?
