What about lgbtq=primary (& lgbtq:*=primary) for "this venue is run
primary for people of the LGBTQ community, or is primarily frequented by
LGBTQ people"?

lgbtq=majority doesn't cover the aspect of "this venue is run *for*
LGBTQ people" implying it's just a numbers game, and could be applied at
51%+.

There is no clear "opposite" of lgbtq=primary, so this scheme doesn't
have suffer from "lgbtq=yes"'s problem of "How do you tag a non-LGBTQ
venue?" lgbtq=no means it's run by bigots who ban LGBTQ people. Boring
cishet bars can just not have a lgbtq tag.

Thoughts?

lgbtq=no (which would be a valid tag for the majority of places since
they don't specifically cater to lgbtq people) as "this place does

very small number of places).
Good point.

One could say "OSM Tags are for machines, so consult the
docs", but I think tags should be readable to humans (one you learn to
speak OSM-tag-ese).

You don't want "lgbtq=only" since usually an lgbtq bar *will* admit
 > straight people

Yes they will (plus some members of the LGBTQ community are straight, or
in relationship with straight people 😉). Wiki says diet:vegan=only
means "All *or almost all* products are vegan", so lgbtq=only is
consistent with that, but it seems too confusing, and doesn't read well,
so I think it's not the best.

Perhaps "lgbtq=designated"

That's close, *but* sounds like an official body has designed the place
as a LGBTQ venue, rather than someone choosing to run a business that
way. It could be the best contender.
