This thread has lingered for a few days now and I've avoided responding. But, I'm bored, so what the heck.
My first reactions was "who is we?" I am sure some of us dislike being stereotyped as gay because we CD. Others among us probably don't give a rip about labels.
Now, why does being labeled gay evoke fear in people (CD or otherwise) is another matter. Bad things have happened to people because prejudice...from being ostracized from social networks to job loss to physical harm. And of course, one can consider the intentions of the people applying such labels. The Gay label is almost always used as a weapon meant to demean and diminish.
