What is your stance on pushing labels onto others?
I’m curious what other people’s opinions on sexualities and labels are. Do you think it’s wrong to assume/push sexualities onto others? Do you think sexualities/labels are something we need? What are your experiences and thoughts?
As someone who does not identify as any specific sexuality (my personal belief that love doesn’t need to be labeled), I’ve often had people misinterpret that and assume I just didn’t know what my sexuality was and try to insist on “finding” a sexuality for me. This of course aggravated me greatly...but interestingly enough, I had more issues (homophobia, gatekeeping, invalidation, ect.) ,both within the LGBTQ+ community and outside, when I identified as a certain sexuality as opposed to just being transparent.
you get lost on how different you are so labels are for us to identify ourselves with, so yes we do need them to establish a clear representation. especially given the discrimination, hate crime and all the struggle, through these hardships communities come together to support each other because no one is there to give you resources, hear you or ma...... reply
