No, they’re right. Lots of people hate the labels and being labelled as such, they just want to be seen as the normal person they are. It’s not normal to be labelled. In my experience, they are the quiet majority and they just want their sexual preferences to be out of the forefront of stranger’s minds, defining their social identity. It’s actually pretty fucking creepy and weird.

Some people voluntarily do want the label. That’s fine, it’s their choice. It’s not fine to involuntarily assume for others, though. Respect is something that takes the back seat to narrow-minded assumptions that ironically goes against the best intentions. In a respectful society, there are no labels and people are just people. Unfortunately we are still Neanderthalic so social and political labels, categories, etc. still exist and are assigned, for no purpose and with no consent.

Most people don’t care and want to be left alone. But there are still idiots out there that care about which toilet they can go in or which toilets others can go in. One day our society will be rid of these people and concept like LGBTQ+ will be ridden of too, because people are just people and toilets are just toilets. A person’s identity shouldn’t be defined by their genitals and what they do with them. Labels and adheration to that is just creepy and weird.

So, yeah, many people you consider LGBTQ+ are against the whole concept of LGBTQ+ and you shouldn’t assume for them or look at them as “that thing” and slap a label on. We can be so much better than this.
