Do you hate the "Gay" Label?

[DemonicDaughter]

I definitely hate the gay label because of homophobia, being ostracized for it, job discrimination / problems, and that it'll turn off most women.

I reiterate... I have no idea where these "women" are that you come across. Last I looked, it was my GAY male friends that had MORE women around them then all of my heterosexual male friends did combined. And its not just on a "friendship" level. If you ask the majority of the GG population if gay men turn them off, they'll laugh at you and tell how how good looking most of them are, how well they dress and how understanding they can be. If you ask them whether they would sleep with their gay male friends if given the opportunity, I can guarantee the majority of them would say yes. Why? Because women love the PERSONALITY more than they do the looks, money, etc.

Much rather be called or thought of as gay than a self-absorbed, self-righteous a$$hole!

Gay or not, if I'm liked and appreciated and thought of as responsible, reliable person, then I'm happy...

Amen!

And Kate why do you hate being called Gay you make it sound dirty.

My thoughts exactly.

Kate you put yourself out there by making statements that sound like being called gay is the worst thing someone could call you.

i find it degrading that just because im a crossdresser, people assume im probably straight.

Oh amen to that too sister!

I don't get upset when anyone assumes I'm gay or straight even though I'm neither. What DOES bother me is someone making a statement that sounds like being called that is disgusting.

WHO CARES if someone thinks you sleep with men?! Do you? No? Fine then move along! Geez! Such a big deal over something so minor. Bi's and gays are presumed straight every single day by everyone around us and WE don't freak out, bitch, complain and make it sound like we were just called something vile. Get over it!
