I'm straight. I also feel very awkward about all these new labels that will soon become so complicated that I'll be able to pick out a person's sexual interest from the crowd and know that they're having lustful thoughts in their head about them because they said that they're heteroblondoscandinavioslenderowittysexual.
This is something I agree with. There are just so many labels. Like, is the label for demisexual really necessary? Is it even focussing on sexuality or as to when somebody would be comfortable having sex with another person? All you really need is Heterosexual, Homosexual, Asexual and Bisexual, really (I would also say transexual, but does that focus on sexuality of gender preference?). How can you be anything else? I know the essential four and feel that there's no need to learn the others. I know that may make me ignorant to the subject, but I don't think it means that I need to be slammed on the subject.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to display my views on Homophobia. Firstly, I think homophobia is a stupid name because it implies that you have a genuine fear of homosexuals, which it isn't. It's just being against the concept. Secondly, I think that it's okay to question whether you're okay with people being gay. NOW LET ME FINISH. I know that I have been raised in a manner that a lot of things around me have been heterosexual, and so when homosexuality was introduced to me it took me a while to get used to it. At the very beginning I was like "is this supposed to be right?" Of course, I grew up to accept that people are gay and to be happy for them. But I think that we all go through that "huh, what? is that right?" stage due to the way a lot of us are raised. I think that it's natural and that as longs as you're not bashing homosexuals because of it and keeping it to yourself then it's okay. Hell, I think it's okay to be a homophobe so longs as you keep it to yourself and don't act on those views. Sometimes it's like sexuality in the sense that you can't help what you believe because it can be an instinct. Places like Tumblr just don't like the thought of somebody believing in something that goes against that majority opinion on their precious site. Might be because most people claim that they're anything but heterosexual on Tumblr anyway, key word being claim, but that's a rant for another day.
To answer the main question though, I actually don't know. I, quite frankly, don't give a ♥♥♥♥. Why stick a label on myself and end up being judged by people? I can do what makes me happy without being judged, and I'm okay with that.
