  Human-robot interaction (HRI) systems need to build trust with people of
diverse identities. This position paper argues that queer (LGBTQIA+) people
must be included in the design and evaluation of HRI systems to ensure their
trust in and acceptance of robots. Queer people have faced discrimination and
harm from artificial intelligence and robotic systems. Despite calls for
increased diversity and inclusion, HRI has not systemically addressed queer
issues. This paper suggests three approaches to address trust in queer HRI:
diversifying human-subject pools, centering queer people in HRI studies, and
contextualizing measures of trust.
