Hey, I can't edit the ticket anymore but wanted to add evidence to support my claims:
I first discovered an error message when editing channel point redemptions. The error stated that my title was "not compliant with content guidelines" while using the word "Gay"
I went through a bunch of queer words in the titles and found that the words Gay, Trans and Transexual were all flagged with this message. However, the words Queer, Pansexual, Bisexual and Intersex were all permitted.
In addition to being banned in channel point redemptions, these words are also prohibited from being used in polls, predictions, clips and I'm sure other places as well.CelestialBeanArt

UPDATE: I've tested words in various places around twitch and found that you can't use the words "gay" or "trans" in the following places:
channel points
Polls
Go live notifications
When trying to use these words in those places, you are met with an error message stating that your titles goes against content guidelines.
When looking at my live notification history, I was able to use the word "gay" in my notification as recently as April 24th. This means that the content guidelines have changed to prohibit these words within the last month or so right before pride month started. I do still have a channel point redemption with the word "gay" in it from before these changes went into effect. So, if you were using that word before the change, you are grandfathered in but can not add a new channel point redemption with these words.
