Also from perspective who writes stuff (my domain is scientific articles, so may not directly apply) - Your title is the hook for article - and it is the photo of your product which goes in the catalog, and since catalogs have limited space - you can only put a finite amount of details in it, ideally the most enticing one. If you put "Gay" as the very first word in the title, this story (from the perspective of person just reading the title) would see this as the main element in story. This is again putting a label on them and their identity.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that putting emphasis on the "Gay" description is reductive?

I don't necessarily disagree, but headlines need to be short, capture attention and accurately summarize the content of the article. I think this headline succeeds in all these aspects.

Also it's worth noting that this cruise was chartered by a company that advertises itself as specialising in gay & LGBTQ+ holiday packages. I doubt anyone taking part in this cruise would object to it being described as gay.
