My identity has a lot to do with the fact that I help those in need, that i hate injustice, and I am strongly defiant to those who demand I just accept whatever I am told without asking why. I speak out against those trying to tell others how to live their lives, or pass laws based on their religion or belief without any evidence. I am an activist, a scientist, a student, a mentor, and I am always changing.
So, my identity cannot be labeled so simplistically. I am many things, each an identity I could call mine, yet none separately could every truly describe me. So, why should I allow a single label to be placed on me? Most people who meet me don't even know I am gay until I start gushing about my boyfriend, so I can't even claim my sexuality as my identity.
