The queue module doesn't seem to support this. We have already put all admin/front page posts into the node type story but that doesn't change that there is a promoted to front page checkbox on every node. I don't care that it's there - I just don't want the posts to end up on the front page.

You can use the views module to generate a page like this and set that as your front page. I know this works in 4.7 views; I'm not sure 4.6 views has author role as a filter, but it could probably be backported in.
