There is a problem with the term "gay".
The term "gay" normally refers to males who are attracted to other males. But it can also be used as an umbrella term that refers to any person who is attracted to their same sex.
Which is fine but there is no specific term other than that for males attracted to males. Females have the term "lesbian" 
but there isn't an alternative for males.
So if I want to post gay as in male content, and I put "gay" in the CW, people comes complaining to me because they expected yuri instead of seeing a naked anime guy, saying "this isn't gay". I mean, it's just one guy, ok, but the content is clearly aimed towards gay males (which doesn't mean other groups couldn't like it like bi or hetero females or whatever, but you get the point), so what do you want me to put in the CW? It's gay. Period. The character in the drawing is gay.
When it says "gay", expect to see at least a dick, and when it says "yuri" or "yuwi" or whatever, expect girls doing girl stuff. There is no alternative, and even if it's only one male, the term "gay" already implies there is going to be at least one dick.
