What do you think of labels?

Question

sometimes i would prefer to call myself "girl who likes girls"

idk "L*****n" seems so scary

or id rather call myself "g*y"

Answer 1

Labels have never really been so much for people having a way of relating themselves to others like them, and more about other people having a way to fit you into neat little categories they've made.

I say s***w labels.  

Answer 2

Labels are awesome for inanimate objects. People, not so much.

Answer 3

idk about that label but labels are expensive :D

Answer 4

well, labels are not you. they are just how others perceive you. no not stress over the small stuff like that

Answer 5

Diversity is right. Unfortunately there will always be labels. It's how you respond to them that matters. It really doesn't bother me to be called a L*****n or g*y. I actually think that the word "d**e" is a really super hot word when used in the right context ;)

The power you give it makes all the difference!

Answer 6

I prefer Heterosexually challenged!!   :@)

Answer 7

labels are life. get over it. L*****n and "liking girl" are two different things. i think it sounds cute to say "i like girls" and L*****n sounds so much harsher. it's your world...call yourself what you want.

Answer 8

i hate it, really, I just want to be me, not labeled for my sexual orientation....I find it to be silly, being L*****n is only a part of me....there is more to me than being a l***o

Answer 9

When it comes to labels, I'm 100% USDA Grade-A whoopass.

Answer 10

L*****n seems 'scary' to you?

you could just call yourself g*y then, or whatever makes you feel comfortable.you dont need a label even anyway

Answer 11

I know what you mean.. L*****n does seem kinda scary. I think its because of all the negative stuff people say about them. I think g*y is scary too. Bi doesnt seem to be that bad of a word. Thats probably one of the reasons why people are more willing to say they're  bi even if they really are g*y or L*****n.

Answer 12

i don't really care for the word "L*****n", either.  i've heard this new term for lesbians: gayelle.  idk... i really like it. :)  it's cute.  way better than L*****n.

labels in general, i don't think are really necessary.  they just distance people from one another.

Answer 13

Labels are OK but I just hate it when you have to a label or if it gets out of control and everyone is labeled.

Twiztidforlife was labeled, but theres no worry free guarantee, so lock up the house and keep me away from the Mountain Dew.

Answer 14

girl who likes girls i hate g*y and L*****n i just say im not looking for a s*x im looking for a person to love cuz im bi  

Answer 15

I have no idea what I'd call myself. Pansexual is a good fit, but I don't know. Sexuality is so fluid, I don't think anyone is 100% straight, bi, g*y, whatever. It's just a huge continuum, I think.

Answer 16

WORDS ARE A VIRUS

Answer 17

Call yourself whatever you want. Labels can be convenient, but people take them way too far even though they are really just words. You are your own person, not some stereotype that society says you are.

Answer 18

I dont think that there is anything wrong with the word L*****n!!!

I dont care what ppl call me all i care about is that i am ME and i'm happy & healthy and thats all there is to it!!!!!!!

Answer 19

I think labels are useful in identifying ourselves. Before applying the word g*y to myself, my life seemed abnormal. I wasn't like other boys... I didn't know what to call my feelings. But once I understood the word g*y and what it meant to be g*y, my life made so much sense.  

Answer 20

Well I like them on my food packaging, not my people

I call myself a "L*****n with one exception"

It's so stupid when I [or someone else] says I'm bi, people think it's a joke. It's like no one takes bisexual girls seriously.
